New Seedlings

Some new seedlings have found their way to our home. Though not yet planted, we look forward to have these additions that we brought home from Pasir Mas. The seedlings include mango, sukun, a type of keladi, purple-coloured-flower misai kucing and pokok duit (the Chinese love this plant).

A few days before, I took some white rose cuttings, green ati-ati seedlings and hydragea cuttings from an ex-neighbour's house. These too, haven't been planted. Ohh...so many plants to be planted.

Btw, one of my misai kucing has gone to Pasir Mas....

A for Ati-Ati (coleus)

So this is #4, ati-ati or coleus. It's red in colour though ati2 (also known locally as nilam, bangun-bangun) is known to be in many other colours which makes it a beautiful plant for the laman.
Been wanting to have it before and settled for this since the price offerred at the nursery in Nilai 3 was rather cheap, RM2 per polybag. So bought just one!
I found it rather easy to plant and had it propagated to a few more new plants. Will find time to propagate more. Just see the pic and you know what I mean.
Read about ati-ati that can be used as a cough deterrent.

Ati-ati is also said to have other medicinal values. However, due to the many varieties of ati-ati ie the different colours; different plants may have different medicinal values or are they the same?
