Hydechyium














Today is a rainy day.It rains for about an hour. I have to go to the field to continue my heliconia planting.We planted another 5 varieties totalled up 10 varieties ; which we planted under 50% netting. We plan to plant another 10 varieties once we obatained from our order. I will be planting the same 20 varieties in the open field soon plus 10 varieties of canna. I hope every thing will be fine.

Later, I went to see my hedchyium plants that were grown under hydroponics system. It is quite big now.But I see some mutated plants - about 5 plants which looks like ginger plants.the leaves are very narrow and dark green Its stem is cylindrically small. I hope this is a new specie.However my colleague argues that the plants are not strong enough to live. I dont have any idea. Wait till it grows bigger. We grow the plants in cocofibre with 8 hour- interval water cycle.
