There are few naughty mice around my house and, as a matter of fact, mouse is fond of young leaves of Anthurium. Yes it is. After one night I left my young Anthurium plants on the backyard for visiting my relatives’ house, I found some of them lost one leaf relatively. There was some biting scars or dental marks on the stems or part of the leaves which were left behind. The mice got the most expensive food ever. They eat the young leaf of Ant. black beauty and part of young leaf Ant jenmanii. I didn’t give a damn on this case and I was not mad at the mice: useless and wasting time. The lesson from this case is that Anturium leaves attract mouse appetite. And the measure I should take is: just make my house secure form mice attack and block any access for mice!

Heading for Semarang from Yogyakarta by car, last weekend (Sep 15), we made a stop at some plant nurseries along Muntilan-Mertoyudan main road. Observing just the way the keepers talked, most of the nurseries seemed to belong to Sundanes farmers. I met Mrs Wendy who has so many health delightful Aglaonema. I bought Agl. rotundum, Agl. pride of sumatra, and Ant. wave of love with 6-7 leaves. Mrs. Wendy gave me special price for about Rp 100.000 each on average.
