Anthuriums seedlings and a stressed japanese plant

Deflasked a while ago , these anthurium seedlings are doing quite well. I think these are Anthurium sireh. Grown in my usual seedlings plastic tray bought from bargain shops.

A stressed japanese begonia that need to be revived.

Planting for indoors

This seems to be getting more and more popular and it seems the possibilities are endless. I spend the last couple of weeks planting in some minature pots bought from Daiso and  whatever glassware I could find at reasonable prices. I price tags for those for sale are usually close to a hundred dollars and often they cost substaintially more. Now that I have tried buying the materials/plants and growing them, those asking price are not unreasonable.
Small cactus and succulents are 3 for $10 ,  Larger ones are usually between $10 to $30. The ferns are to $15. Plants are close to $10. Imported varieties especially those from japan cost quite a bit more.  
The glasswares can be anything from 80cents for the glass mug to $20 for the small goldfish bowl. Then margarita glass was $6, bought from a kitchen ware shop around joo chiat. The stones and pebbles  are a few dollars a box. I use regular potting mx and cactus mix depending on the plants.

Impulse buy, Grafting tool

I have been grafting some of my plants for a long time and the results are always mixed. I came across this and thought it might work. Impulse buy....  then again I am a sucker for such things. Looks like the perfect tool for grafting my fig plants.

Flowering pole

My Dendrobium totem pole is doing really well. The recent heat spell has encouraged more roots and flowering.  You might have noticed that I have not added watermarks on recently ... thats because the editing fonts on the on the new phone is quite lame.

Freehold or not ?

The sunbirds made a nest attached to one of the large fig leaves. Unfortunately the leaf withered and fell from the fig tree. I found this nest on the ground and placed it back near its original position. Waiting to see if the parents come back to hatch the 3 eggs inside.

Rikugien persimmons

Persimmon seeds from my last autumn colours trip to Japan. I remember buying this at the park exit after enjoying the night illumination of Rikugien Garden.  The persimons were really big and cheap sold in bags of 5 or 6 depending on size. Really yummy !!!   If you have eaten japanese persimons before you will know what I mean.
These seeds were kept buried in potting mix and stored in the freezer and fridge for about  4 months before I took them out for germination.  Left in the warmer climate, they have started to germinate after a few weeks. They probably won't  mature and fruit but it's fun enough getting them to germinate and grow.

No they are not orchid pollens

They do look very similiar almost like Phal appendiculata pollens but they are not. These are seeds harvested from a fig half eaten by the birds. I am going to try and germinate them. These have been soaking for a day in water and half a day in a dilute solution of fungicide. It seems the good seeds with sink to the bottom after soaking while the not so good ones stay afloat. Those were discarded. The media will be some soil mixed with vermiculite and they will be left to gerimate in a bright area with a few hours of sun daily watering.....  maybe in a week or two we see some greenlings.
