Betel leaf planted

This is from the earlier post on (Nature Walk 6: Betel Leaf) where I managed to take some betel leaf vine. So far, they are doing so well. I had asked my neighbour for an empty pot with soil and planted this one for her. I had given this plant earlier but it was unsuccessful ( mentioned that it died to paper crisp in 3 days)

If all goes well, I may pass this plant by this weekend or next.

Nature Walk 6 - Betel Leaf

Finally I arrive to this place, its almost an hour and I need to go back to the office. My shirt is lightly stained with my sweat. I was amazed to find a sea of betel leaf crawling all over the landscape. It have a light green coloured leaves in comparison to the grass and other foliage.

I am so excited and managed to pluck few of these vines to take back for planting. Immediately arriving to my office, I placed them in a container and watered it. (planned to plant it today)

I have an earlier batch which I had planted (the plant I got from the same place but a different area - near the allamanda patch) Here, its like a haven of betel leaf. I hope I can propagate this and give more of this plant to others before this place is totally sealed for construction and all the plants here doomed.

(Below - its just 4 long vines of betel leaf)

Betel Leaf - Piper Betle

I found this plant growing in an abandon housing area. I guess it survived but its not going to be very long as a new development may start the construction and will wipe out whatever green that grows in that area.

Somehow, I realised that I'm not so much of a herb planting person as many times I had given away all my herbs as they are the first to go when I have my inspiration moments in creating a garden theme. (I have given this plant to my neighbour and her's seemed to be growing quite good)

I know now why I don't like herbs:
probably because they don't look interesting.
Or because they don't do well in shady areas.
Maybe the best reason because they die too often too quickly before I can enjoy them (sob..sob..)

Well, now gingerly these herbs are slowly making their comeback in my garden. Hopefully they last enough until I utilise them for their rich benefit.

Right now, I'm enjoying all the fragrance of these herbs..
They seemed to be very therapeutic for me especially very good for stress relieve.

TIPS:
1) It does well as a hanging plant. Need to watch out for lack of water as they wither fast without it. (burned corners - lack of water)

2) Also when placed on ground, snails seemed to love them more compared to other houseplants.

3) For Headache:
Wet the leaf and tear it small pieces and place it upon the forehead.

4) Remove excess heat from body (especially for children) :
Wet the leaf and tear it small pieces and place it on the stomach area.

5) I also realised that there are many types of Betel leaf. Im guessing this one is known as Indian Betel leaf (someone in my office had identified it for me) If there is any detailed information concerning it - would be much appreciated.

COMMENTS:
Im sure there are a lot benefits concerning betel leaf. Would appreciate if anyone share their personal experience concerning this herb. Thanks in advance.
