I personally loves round leaves plant.
This has one of my favourite leaves.
Their leaves are turning to yellow and falling.
They don’t like coldness, so already are going dormant.
They are 2 years old, seedlings.
This winter will be their third one.
See you next year.
This is a fruit of my seedling of “Kedrostis Africana”, 1 year old (It’s the second Autumn, 2018). It has produced some fruits for first time. It had tiny green/yellow flowers in Summer.
All leaves are yellow and going dormant.

The seed does not germinate easily. My seeds germinated 2 out of 10.
It’s difficult to propergate by cuttings either.
However, it’s quite easy to care once it germinates.
My Uncarina Roeoesliana is slowing down and doesn’t take water so much, and seems going to sleep soon.

この葉の形がなんとも言えず惹かれる。
まるで花火のよう。
秋になりとても活発になったように感じる。
もっと葉っぱが出てきてくれるかな？
