Hibiscus is easiest to propagate through cuttings. Stevia is alright too, only we got to be extremely patient over a month before it gets rooted. This particular flowering plant had been testing my patience for months. We took a few cuttings from Mother in Law's garden, many months ago. Out of 10 or so, one finally survive and now flowering.
I would call the colour as metallic light blue. Looking at the colour closely, one can imagine the colour of an antique car, with metallic light blue paintwork.
Cape Plumbago is learning to be fanciful
with it's first set of flowers...... The plant is still in shade,
therefore there is a real need for a good sun bathing
for real flowering bonanza.
In a few weeks time, it should be ready.

The background is lettuce, getting very big now.

I have plumbago, too. A sun bathing definitely brings out all the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI have this type too! They have gone dormant and i don't know why....
ReplyDeleteI have trid stem cuttings but in failure...sigh...
Hello Bangchik and Kakdah, i thought Plumbago is easy to care for! Ours just stay there without much efforts from us.
ReplyDeleteI had this plant before. Mine was not growing well and eventually it died! Yours look healthy and the flowers are really pretty!
ReplyDeleteHi. Where can we get stevia in Malaysia? I'd love to get some. Does it have a Malay name?
ReplyDeleteStevia is widely available in nurseries around Klang Valley nowadays...I'm not so fond about flower plants as much as I am about edible greens...maybe when I finalize my aquaponic setup I'll leave some room to try grow flower plants via aquaponic.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flowers, and the lettuce makes a perfect background.
