My first attempt in gardening

Masa kat Marang, Tganu, around the surrounding area of TESDEC (the college i was giving training), ada byk sgt pokok periuk kera kat tepi2 bukit kat along the road. Masa awal2 pegi sana cuma tgk je, tp makin lama mcm makin terasa nak tau pasal pokok ni. Pastu on my last trip, i decided to take a few plants from tesdec area. Ofcourse it's illegal la sbb within tesdec nye coumpound tp these are wild plants and not tanam by anyone.

Since I travel by flight, kena la ada technique yg betul utk wrap the plants. Before wrapping, daun2 yg mcm dah kering tu kena potong dgn cermat. Pastu direnjis with air and then baru wrap dgn surat kabar but not to tight or too loose. Last sekali masuk dalam plastic. Nanti terkena baju dalam luggage.

Bila sampai umah, mak aku kata jgn terus tanam, let it be a few days. Takut pokok terkejut. So after few days tu, aku bukak, the plants were still fresh. So aku pon tanam la.

Ni hasilnye selepas 1 jam ditanam.

Malang nye selepas 4-5 jam, daun2 jadi layu and kuncup (tak sampai hati aku nak ambik photo). Betapa frust nye aku sbb ingat aku fail in gardening. Tapi aku bersabar and biarkan dia. Aku siram hari2 dgn penuh kasih syg. As of now, walaupun ada yg pokok mati (mmg logik la mati sbb aku simply cucuk masuk dalam tanah without any akar), ada gak yg hidup. Aku tanak letak gambar lagi sbb taboo. Kang mati lak. Tapi aku nak bgtau mmg ada yg hidup.

Setelah mak aku mengiktiraf aku mmg ada green fingers, maka aku membeli pokok orkid pulak. Sekarang ni tumbuh daun2 je. Insyaallah lagi dua tiga bulan keluar la bunga. Nanti aku free aku ambik pic. Tu takde taboo sbb senang jek nak idup.
