About me

I’m a 24-year-old Chinese female who lives in this tropical island called Singapore. I grew up surrounded by a lot of plants since my dad loves to grow bonsais (and he has been growing them since he was 18), but was never really interested in plants (except for weeding, which is therapeutic) until some time March 2008, when a friend mentioned she was growing mulberries, and got the cuttings from someone through this forum called Green Culture Singapore.

Intrigued, I joined and was pretty much hooked.

With all the hyperactivity of a newbie who plunged into the deep end of an ocean of plants, I started off with (yup, you guessed it) mulberries, and anything and everything else. At that time, I was simply intrigued and interested in everything, without knowing how to manage my space (since I live in an apartment now and have to contend with my dad for space against his countless bonsais), my spending, and my specialization.

Like all plants mature, however, I soon found the blind rush of wanting to grow everything from the smallest weed to the largest tree fading, learnt a lot of space management, and came into my interest.

These days, I grow mostly mints and a few other herbs as the edible and/or medicinal parts of my collection; and also grow some basic carnivorous plants for their sheer beauty and usefulness in catching those pesky insects for me.

I act crazy sometimes, talk with plants and trees sometimes, loves horses (and horse riding), and will pretty much say hello to all the greenery out there.

If you like, do leave a comment to say hello to myself, so that I can say hello back. I like doing that. =)
