Bedroom garden
Sounds weird?
I started this bedroom garden because I'm a little overprotective of my plants. I keep seedlings here to protect them from excessive heat or hard rain. . hehe.. I also keep my cuttings here. Nothing beats seeing greens once you wake up... (:
Few photos of my bedroom garden where I keep my cuttings and lavender seedlings.
The Windowsill
This is my windowsill. It's bright up here but it only gets sunlight late in the afternoon.
Cuttings of sweet basil, rosemary, lemon balm & peppermint and lavender seedlings are the current boarders...
Sweet basil cuttings
I harvested some of my sweet basil last week. I put the basil stalks in the water and voila! -- New cuttings again. Nothing is wasted. After less than a week, it has grown some roots!
Rosemary cuttings
I find it hard to grow rosemary roots. I lose count how many weeks have passed already and up to now no noticeable development yet.
Water propagation: The one in the middle and the one in the right are the old cuttings that I put in this plastic cup. The two in the left are the newer cuttings from a colleague.
I wanted to know which method is effective for me, so I directly sowed these two in soil. Let's see!
Lemon balm
The cuttings seem to lose their bright green color and started to fade. But after two weeks, my lemon balm cuttings are showing some little roots!
Day 1. Still bright and lush.
Water is quite a lot.
TINY.
ROOTS.
...are growing!
Peppermint
Nothing much from these cuttings. Few days ago, I am seeing super duper tiny roots but now they're gone.. Maybe my cuttings are way too long - almost a size of a ruler. :D I'll trim it off and see how it goes.
...Meanwhile..
Seems like I have a visitor! He's trying to get in. Ooops.. not allowed.. Better luck next time, buddy.. :D
That's it for now. Thanks for viewing! Follow on for the lavender seedlings update. :)
Thankieeee,
