Raising
varieties of plants is one of my diversions which brings more colours
into my life. It diverts my attention and also helps me to stay away from my laptop, which is very helpful. Once you are on the web and have opened useful interfaces, it will eat you and is very addictive! Would you agree?
In the
summer, I planted some colourful flowers in the troughs but their
liveliness and adorableness only lasted up to the late autumn. They
just couldn't cope with the cold weather during winter season. I didn’t
want to be left with empty containers, so I raised five kinds of
cypresses in pots which grow vigorously and healthy.
The first
cypress I brought was once displayed on the kitchen table but is now
place at the back of the house. I didn’t want it to be transferred
outside as it has been providing me with a touch of nature's green
ambiance. However, because of its vigorous growth, which is now 2 feet tall, I had no choice but to move it to a much more spacious and airy
place. The ideal situation is the patio at the back of in which it now
joined the other plants already there.
My other
two species of cypresses are place in colourful pots and displayed in
the kitchen. Both are a good height for indoor plants but soon they
will grow like the two outside. I am hoping that they will remain
pygmies so that they will stay forever on my window sills. Reality speaking, nature
being what it is they will grow up and find themselves in the outside
world.
My
cypresses which resemble Christmas trees will always remind me of my
childhood years. I always wished I would have the chance of rearing
even one of them but now, I have five handsome indoor cypresses in my
possession.
