HEDERA

I bought these two big-leaved Hedera (Common Name: Ivy) a month ago. The common one with smaller leaves is placed beside the big-leaved one in the photos for comparison. I will see how these plants fare.

BULBS

Alright, I am not talking about light bulbs here. I am referring to a group of plants with a swollen storage organ that gives rise to its fleshy leaves and roots. Some of the common types of bulbs include the edible onion and garlic, ornamental lilies e.g. Narcissus.


Anyway, there was this clump of  bulbous weeds, which I collected and brought home to wash off the dirty soil. I then planted some of them into an existing container garden of Fittonia cultivar and Hedera helix (common name: Common Ivy, English Ivy) and others into the planters along my corridor.


So are these the white flower Eucharis grandiflora (common name: Amazon Lily) or red flower Eucrosia bicolor (common name: Peruvian Lily)? We shall wait and see.

CONTAINER GARDEN

Recently, I bought a new glass container from IKEA and planted it up with the following plants:

• Saxifraga stolonifera
• Fittonia cultivars
• Hedera helix (variegated Ivy)

When the Saxifraga grows bigger, it would cover the other plants and droop over the edge of the tall container. Meanwhile, these plants act as fillers to the wide container. Anyway, I have not decided where to place it yet though, so it shall remain on my table first.
