Plants diary in London
(No.4)
My another favourite round leaves, “Hoya Obovata”.
This has great large round leaves.
A new leaf is growing too.
I can’t wait to see how it will become round and great.
This is my new favourite, “Dischidia Nummularia”.
I got it because they have round leaves. (You might have already known that I like the round leaves. 😄)
After I received this plant, I thought…
No I can’t be like that. It should be stronger, bigger and have thicker leaves! 😔
I went to search “Dischidia Nummularia” on Google and Instagram.
A lot of photos show that thicker round leaf as they are succulent.
And very few but some photos show the leaves like “mentos”!!! 🤩
Very very thick and fat round which I was amazed by.
How could I make my thin, plastic looking leaves like that?
Apparently, they need full direct sun to do that and it’s quite difficult matter here in London but I will do my best.
I want to make my Dischidia healthier and thicker!
It became one of my missions.
An aspect of my favourite plants is definitely a round leaf!
This is a classic ↓
(No.1)
This is my long time favourite and propagated loads.
(No.2)
This is Half-succulent plant, “Peperomia Hope”.
Easy going house plant. Really nice to live with.
(No.3)

丸い葉っぱが大好きなのです！
Their leaves are turning to yellow and falling.
They don’t like coldness, so already are going dormant.
They are 2 years old, seedlings.
This winter will be their third one.
See you next year.
