Surprise, surprise I went plant shopping and got a couple of plants. I got a Hoya krohniana eskimo (£3.99) and a Alocasia dragon scale (£4.99). As yu might have guessed from the price, they’re both babies.

This week’s tour is AGAIN from the Jungle Haven, but it’s all about the ever-underappreciated Aglaonema. I have a couple in my terrarium, which is a shame because I can think of a few spots in my house that would suit them well. Hmm, perhaps on my next trip to the garden centre…
I also enjoyed this Q&A with the woman that does at-home tissue culture.
Have a great weekend!
