Took out
Euphorbia cotinifolia from Macrozamia bed in Display, repotted, moved them back into Arid service house and pruned right back.

I did the three loopy ties on
Plectranthus sp., and to
Ruellia macrantha - a giant flowered upright one as opposed to the ground cover like ones we have been using, again ACANTHACEAE family.

The
Plectranthus looked terrible but Sandra assured me that they will look natural again when they get going, I was not convinced. Three loopy tie starts from a bamboo cane in the middle, then you criss cross it in such a way that the plants are held in as three bunches. The string is independent of the bamboo and the idea is the plant becomes self-supporting.

Repotted some
Iresine lindenii, a nicer one than
I. herbstii 'Brilliantissima' which looks like colours have been thrown onto it by accident.
