My mum found the kaduk plant from someone backyard when she was doing her morning walk. She asked the owner for a branch to porpogate. The plant hardly had any leave during winter in Perth. In summer, it is ok. Last summer, my plants have only a few leaves. This summer, it has 30+ leaves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790784.post-37713874831076841692010-01-06T06:46:23.649-07:002010-01-06T06:46:23.649-07:00anonymous
