I might not, as these plants here are just planted and left on their own. They don't ever get watered in the dry season as we have difficulty of that too!

But when there is still a balance in nature, that seldom happens, they also have predators which lessen them. In the case of my Cassia alata, I allow them to eat most of the leaves, because I want to let them flourish and be butterflies.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848957958059476177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747604230045436342.post-91367804325302243072012-12-15T20:54:29.808+08:002012-12-15T20:54:29.808+08:00Hi Helene, so while you are still at the worst tem...Hi Helene, so while you are still at the worst temperatures, let me keep you a bit warmer with our tropical plants, they are always warm and inviting, haha!

This is much sweeter and the sap has practically no sap. Most of the plants that you show are also commonly planted here in Malaysia.
