Never thought I would have developed an interest in gardening, pot gardening to be exact, and only periwinkle plants. It all started when we snapped two pots of periwinkle from flower expo in Putrajaya last year September. We had the pink and violet flower version. Didn’t take good care of both pots last year, the pink perinwikle died few months later. Not sure what was the cause of dead. But I guess could be due to overwatering or roots rotting. With one pot left, I began to observe and take good care of it since April this year; partly because I had some time at home during lockdown. Did some pruning here and there, and added new soil on it last month. The plant began to thrive. Sadly, the violet periwinle has showed some signs of infection recently. I guess it must be roots rotting as watering doesn’t help to elevate the curling leaves. Guess I need to try to propagate the plant via stem cutting.
