Roselle Update - 2 months after being moved to garden bed...

I woke up one morning and saw one of the Roselle plant actually had a broken stem, and the shoots fell flat. I wasn't sure what caused the stem to break and fell, but I am pretty convinced there's some tiny hands involved :)

So that happened...

That aside, the other surviving Roselle now has hardened stem and more branches sprung out. I still haven't decided what to do with all the flowers, so til next update...

Roselle 6 months

It had taken us a long time to pick a spot in our lawn for the Roselle plants.. too much rain-pour... too much sunlight... too far from water hose... etc etc so that got really delayed. In the end we had them moved into the garden beds, surrounded by three rows of new pumpkin seedlings. Amazingly after a month some tiny rosebuds started showing and these are just perfect!

growing well in the garden.. should've moved the roselles earlier :)

Roselle 3 months

Growing Roselle was never part of my checklist due to the reason that it's a type of flower. Roselle plant is from hibiscus family, and I've had only planted green vegetables so far :D I heard from friends about drinking Roselle syrup too but never tried it myself.

It's only after getting these surprise free gifts from Kak Da Seed that i started looking for information. According to some, their Roselle plants could start producing flowers as early as 3 months, yet both mine still showing no signs since i last checked. I'm not using any type of fertilizer, and they are still in pots. 

didn't post the progress earlier, thought it wouldn't survive lols

1. I planted all five seeds in our germination tray, with the seeding soil that came together with them in the parcel. Spray daily.
2. After few days i observed only two seeds were showing first leaves.
3. Waited for the two seedlings to grow a bit steady before moving them to pots.
4. After three month they grew taller and taller in the pot but nowhere bushy. I didn't used any fertilizer, just rice water.
5. Going to move them out from the pot once the intense hot weather ends, and hopefully we will see some progress here.
