4 June 2025
finally time to give yim may back her plant
it's grown so big. LOL
and it's stem cuttings are still growing...
bye bye white hibiscus plant!
so i have 4 stem cuttings,
2 cuttings in 1 flower pot
so i separated the stem cuttings in 1 flower pot.
now i have 3 pots of stem cuttings
i checked - Roots have NOT appeared yet.
thankfully, the stem cuttings are still alive!
