Buxus in printed porcelain pot with self-contained tray

Boxwood has a textured trunk that lends itself naturally to being bonsaied.

The matching pot rather complements the style of its growth and more more importantly, is very functional in containing the water and maintaining humidity for this plant.

Raphionacme species

Another rarity in local scene, this relative of milkweed has a potato - like caudex from which a vine-like or rosette aerial stems appear, depending on the species.

A very slow grower, a plant with fist-size caudex is probably a decade old or more.

This particular one is R. galpinii which flowers well in Singapore during growing season.

Gymnocalycium ragonesei - Sold

A small jem of a cactus that is armed with flat harmless spines.

It is extremely slow growing in our climate and also does not like extreme full sun - which suits flat dwellers just fine.

The white flower is tall and larger than the diameter of the cactus body when fully opened.
