should be ok

mine is full sunlight, full rain one

 

their bloom is really power

the flower dont wither one

they drop petal by petal (their petal are really small)

but somehwre else in theplant, new flowers will grow

very nice but not smell one

 

i bouhgt mine from worldfarm $8, cheap until face green green

if want smell, try rosemary

the smeel is good, dont water much, need as much sunlight as possible

not pretty, but the smell very nice

i like to go and kah jiao it eveyr now and then, then my hand got rosemary smell

 

 

lavender is a nice smell also but a real pain in the arse

this chap needs real high drain soil in order not to get root rot

once root rot, the rot will infect the rest of the plant, then waste money liao

need lots of sunlight also

 

mint is also good

mint is one damm tough chap

but the smeel is really nice

this guy has raw power

i tried lavender before, very hard in sg.

 

i tried 6 lavenders

 

first 2 died of root rot because of wrong soil used

need extreme high drain soil

the next 2 dying even in correct soil but in a longish pot

the last 2 is 70-80% health, in a planter box pot in high drain soil, looks like this

i use those circular drill bit to drill extra 10 holes at the bottom to super the drainage

Issit the stem turning black? Leaf mostly ok, or black creeping in from stem?

If yes, root rot

Change soil to high drain type

Need to go nursery to buy high drain soil

Water one time per 3 day

This chap don't like water

root rot looks like this

notice the bottom stem and leaves turning black (dont see the root, see the stem part. cant see the root in real life anyway)

the rot will start from the roots

i tiagong is almost impossible to save one
