Hi everyone, I was telling my friends on Messenger that my conservatory is like a tropical rainforest and to prove it, here are some of the plants. I now have 39 money plants which make ideal Christmas presents. At this time of the year many are starting to bloom (white flowers) so I think my year ahead is going to be a good year.
I have a couple of grapefruit which I planted from a pip. These are sprouting at the moment, I hope to turn these into bonsai. To us (Chinese) grapefruit helps to ward off evil and on New Year's Eve, most of us will be adding some grapefruit leaves to our bath water to wash away any bad luck from the previous year and start afresh. Grapefruit leaves are sold in sachets at the supermarket but being tight and efficient, I have my own supply LOL.
This is my kumquat plant wedged in between the furniture which I hope it will provide me with some small oblong oranges next year.
Finally, our lucky bamboos which were only inches tall when bought are taking over the window sill. That's all for now, just to show you our love for plants.
Lily
