A free flow of photographs of my Ginger plants

You'll have noticed by now that I haven't really mentioned anything about my evergreen money plant ... Perhaps it was repotted on a dampy sort of soil which has a very strong stench of urea, and it doesn't catch on much sunlight at its location, it wasn't growing vigorously... Since its progression was somewhat slow-going or passive, I had as a result, overlooked it...

By the time it was being brought down to the community garden, it was too late as it seems to have died even though the RC member (an elderly aunty with green fingers) repotted it & placed it at a supposedly ideal location.

We trim off a section of the "tendrils" where the baby leaves were growing out from & placed it in a bowl of water with oyster shells & those of the giant, deep-sea scallop which we brought home after a huge feast of seafood buffet at shangrila hotel.

Surprisingly, under my hubby's somewhat negligent style of care, the money plant is surviving even though we did notice that it seems to have inherited the jaundiced appearance of the parent plant!

The leaves that grew out didn't look dark greenish.  Instead, they had a yellowy tinge to their leaves as illustrated in the photographs below:


It doesn't look as yellowy in the photographs.  However, in reality, the leaves had a yellowy appearance.
Perhaps the cause for the jaundice appearance is a result of a lack of sunlight?

Here's a free flow of my ginger plants in bloom ...  It's a feast to one's eyes when we set our sight on them! :)


Oh dear, editing using the Aviary Tool is soooooooooo user unfriendly & slow-moving with unexpected alignment issues when editing that I had to forgo water-marking my photographs with copyright. :(
