After a good brunch and tea with a good friend of mine, I was welcomed by packages left at my front door. It was nearly 105 degrees today, causing me to be immediately concerned about the condition the leaves or tubers might be in. I was expecting a package of petrocosmea leaves along with tubers of micro sinningias. Both packages arrived on time, and I made sure to open them as soon as I can. The petrocosmea leaves were a little limp, but removing the dried ends of the petiole to expose a fresh tissue layer, and submerging the exposed end in reverse osmosis water is enough to revive them.
These are my petrocosmea leaves taking a drink. I've received p. tiny tim, p. tim tuttle, and p. momo leaves. P. asa blue and p. ceorulea 'A' leaves were given as a gift. After these leaves take a drink, I then wash them with some diluted Murphy's Oil Soap to get rid of any pests that might've tagged along. The petiole gets cut once more, and the leaf is then placed in fresh potting soil. Pots are labelled with the date of potting, and the hybrid or species name.
Micro sinningia pictures will be posted later.
