greens


the thought of having a pondok with lots of greens was hani's dream before. with no basic and background of plants and staying in terrace house with limited land area was the main barrier to tree planting those days. once we moved to bch 9 yrs ago, hani bought few bougainvillas which were full of flowers. 3/4 weeks later, the plant dah jadi botak since all the flowers had dropped.

thank you to abang rahim, was my neighbour in selayang, who had given me lessons in planting trees. once a while abg rahim and kak ani will pay us a visit in bch and monitor the plants progress. slowly, planting trees and looking after them had become hani's passion when more and more plants and trees hidup ngan subur dan hijau kat pondok. being a fulltime working nobody, hani cant hardly water them. alhamdulillah, the greens manage to survive and breed.

hani loved all types of greens, the helicornia, bird of paradise and all species of keladi is my interest. they are easily looked after provided with the right sunlight and water. dulu, the greens jarang dibaja but now, hani dah lebih rajin especially having ample time after being a pensioner.
not only kita tak berapa nak sihat during renovation progress, hani lost banyak plants during this period. being busy as the project supervisor and sibuk ngan lawatan luar kawasan, most of the plants were neglected and the leaves are covered with thick cement dust.

well, the renovation has finally come to a stop and hani has promised to give more attention to the plants and trees. hani is at peace with the plants and trees, they are a form of therapy to hani and really happy to use them at the wing kat pondok. always welcome family and friends who wanted anak2 pokok especially anak keladi gajah ..
