D.I.Y. Plant Name Tags

D.I.Y. Plant Name Tags

Sometime when you buy a plant that you like to try or add in to your collection, the plant tag wasn't there to be seen. So you have to D.I.Y. like finding the name the species or colour. Than you have to write it on a tag.

But not everyone have nice hand writing, like me so i use a label maker to do my plant name tag. The good this about using a label maker is.

1. Print in different size.
2. It will always be neat.
3. You can remove it if you want to reuse your plant tags.

The bad thing is you have to type it with a small LCD screen & depend what model you buy.

A simple one will do for me actually just for some basic tagging needs. Is very useful in the long run.

Trying Out on African Violets

Trying Out on African Violets

I bought some stunning African Violet to try on they are on sales. So must else well, they are beautiful i love looking at them but keeping is kinda hard because they have sensitive leaves. I try to grow one last time it just rotted away. But i will try it again this time.

'Blue Blazes'

'Mary CraigLrgdb'

'Christmas Dream'

I actually go to the AFRICAN VIOLET SOCIETY OF AMERICA website to look for their names. My good lord there are hundred of different African violet hybrids in the world. They are beautiful. But i will try out this guys first if they survive under my care.

Update On Orchid Nutrients

ANDGRO Orchid Formula

I just got a few things from the garden supply warehouse/nursery.
But fertilizer is first on my list for my orchids, I am trying ANDGRO Orchid Formula for the growth. Because I am trying to encourage my 'Brassolaelia' to grow more foliage.

I just spray on my orchids I will see how much growth it will do to my orchids. I will get the flowering formula once the foliage is establish, & I shall do an update once its have some growth to show. 

Calathea ornata

Calathea ornata

I got this C.ornata same time as my Aglaonema var. 'Valentine', i like Species in my collection because of its large leaves, i think C.ornata is one of the few large leaves Calathea plants. Its thin line only show on mature leaves. C.ornata also have other colours leaves.

 This one got a lot of new growth & its leaves is large but will be larger when fully mature.
Hope this C.ornata to bloom for me as well.

Calathea roseopicta

Calathea roseopicta

I got this Calathea roseopicta same time as my Aglaonema var. 'Valentine', this C.roseopicta is one of my price Species that i wanted it for so long because is so expensive in the past. I love this C.roseopicta because when it bloom its flower look like a rose & when the plant is fully mature its leaves have a shine of maroon colour on it.

 This one doesn't look that pretty yet, but it have new leaf growth hopefully this new leaf will look better. & hope it will bloom for me anytime soon.

I will do an update on my C.roseopicta  new leaf growth once its fully open & mature.
