RE: Two chairs and a gardening update

Those mangoes look like apples, they're turning red.
I guess you really need to make a ladder, as you have different fruit-bearing trees aside from the climbing passion fruit vine that sooner or later might climb up higher, making it more impossible for you to hand-pick them. 😄
And those ever-present caladiums are really stunning! I think you have to put them into pots. 😊 During the COVID-19 pandemic, people in my place were dying to collect different caladiums. I didn't know why, maybe because it was a fad during that time. So I also ended up owning several varieties, including that one that you have. 🤣 It's just very pleasing to the eyes staring at the leaf color combinations of fuchsia and green. I also have those with red spots on their leaves.
Lastly, I am sending well wishes to the Soursops. I hope they won't be attacked by black mold, which is a fungal disease caused by sap-sucking insects. This has been my problem with my sour sops here, I'm trying to find ways to drive them away.
Happy gardening! 💚
Noted!
This caladium is always present because sometimes it disappears and reappears in the same place. It's a beautiful mystery. Do you think that if I took better care of it, it would come out stronger? It's been there for years.
Thanks for the good wishes for my soursops...here in the comments I see that an expert agronomist has spoken. Exactly as I thought it is a demon... because judging by the name of the sucking thing... wow! 😳 anthracnose.
I want to know which side of the world you are on. I'm in a tropical region, and these caladiums are thriving well with partial shade and a bit of morning sun, and filtered light. Their colors become brighter with enough sun but become dull when stuck indoors. I prefer them potted since I can always move them whenever they need sun or when they already had enough. This is just based on my experience with our caladiums. They are actually easy to grow, and as you said, they just come out like a mystery, because they actually have small tubers that remain alive in the ground even if they seem to vanish when the weather or any other environmental conditions become unfavorable. It's their dormant period. And when everything's favorable for them to come out, their leaves will slowly re-sprout. They're really amazing, that's why I love them! I guess maybe during winter, if you are in a four-season country, the tubers are in a rest mode underground, and when spring and summer arrive, they suddenly wake up. This is why they just seem to come out of nowhere. This plant is really fascinating! 💚
That is exactly how I see it.
yes!
I have it planted between the mango tree and the soursop tree and the light filters through there. I love that plant.
