Growing tip of the roselle plant.

You can plan all you want, but you can’t predict when you’ll receive unexpected plant babies.

A plant swap over the National Day weekend with a generous fellow gardener left me with the very pleasant surprise of rooted Roselle cuttings in addition to our agreed exchange.

Roselle is another plant that I had on my to-get list, but further down the line. However, opportunity knocked and I answered.

So I’ve now got two cuttings with some new roots. To reduce transplant shock, I pruned off several of the bigger leaves, especially at nodes where new leaves were beginning to emerge. I’m looking forward to watching these plants grow!
