When we walking to the mini pasar malam on Saturday evening, I spotted a chilli shrub and so many cute little green chillis flourishing. I think they are chilli-padis. I egged the hubs to pluck a stem out so we can try replanting it at home. After enquiring about a longer planter at the pasar malam, we walked home only to notice that the leaves on the chilli stem seem to be withering. But we planted it into the soil in the same planter as the mint plant anyway.

After dinner on Sunday, we took a purposeful walk pass that block of flats to trim another stem off the chilli plant and this time with a pair of scissors. I thought that it could be the hubs' way of plucking it off which may have hurt the stem, that's why it sort of died on us. Anyhow, we replanted the new stem next to the withered on in the same planter.

If you are sharp, you may even spot the 2 little chillis!

Anyhow, it's just 3 days and the leaves on both stems are withering! So sad! Is it so difficult to plant them? There were 2 chest-high (my chest) flourishing chill shrubs where we pruned them off from. They were even selling potted chilli at the pasar malam! But why are they dying on me? *sob*
