Hooray!! Another successful kitchen blooms....

After the success of my kitchen blooms ie. the pink gloxinia late last December 2008/early January 2009,I was really overwhelmed with another successful experiment.

From this piece of leaf propagation last year....

To this elegant beauty just a few days ago....


Another successful plant placed at my kitchen window's sill is the 'Tiger Stripe' Episcia. From this initial plant given by a friend (Thanks Kak Mona)...

To really healthy plant that successfully produced a second bloom almost the same time as the purple gloxinia.


All plants & plantlets gracing my kitchen window's sill receive at least 2 to 3 hours of morning sunshine daily (provided it is not a cloudy or rainy mornings) and a few dose of diluted liquid fertiliser to enhance as well as to boost their growth & health.

For my successful gloxinias & episcia, I thank my forum friend who shared the same interests, who gratefully gave me the plantlets & leaf cuttings for the successful propagation. Thanks once again Kak Mona ;-))
