Never in my life did I think I would be gardening. But here I am, since the beginning of this year, receiving from friends, buying, planting, potting and re-potting my plants.
Watering my plants daily after work is so therapeutic and cathartic! The day's troubles and stress just melt away as I tend to my lovelies.
Seeing them grow and bloom bring so much delight to my heart!
And my mini garden is coming to fruition!
One of the plants that I look forward to seeing blossoming the most is the mini chrysanthemum shrub. Bought a pot during the CNY for home deco.They were of course booster-laden for the season and I just couldn't resist their beauty. After about a month in which they gradually wither away, I trimmed them and left about two inches of stalks in the pot.
It was daily watering and once a month of fertilizing. The shrub grew big and there were countless buds forming withing two months. However, they never bloom!
It was quite frustrating! Thought of discarding the whole pot but I just didn't have the heart.
And when I least expect it, two buds bloomed last week and two more are blossoming now!
Such beauties! They smell wonderful too!
Can't wait for all the buds to blossom and brighten up the whole pot!
