What plants would be suitable? They've gotta look nice, and 'tahan' the weather, Especially during our storms...

Are there any plants that are small enough to be planted without being initially noticed?

I think we should use seed bombs. But dig a small hole into the ground and stuff it in.

The plants must be sturdy...

Maybe can ask a local gardening store about it...

will get back to you

I thought of seed bombs before... cause easy, just throw out of car window...

Papaya seed is really easy... my friend's mom once threw some into the drain... few months later, got papaya tree growing out of the drain... so I'm thinking, throw papaya seed bombs out of car window along federal highway... next thing you know, everyone got free papaya during the jam back home... ha ha Wink

I did some research and experiments... my grandmother, being some who I interviewed...

chili padi: very hard to grow, need very good soil and rigorous mantainence... mine died in 5 months... my grandma say must put special fertilizer and chicken shit in it..Huh I still blur bout her kampung language...Huh

pandan: the root must grow really deep for it to thrive... so if we try planting it at some divider, there's concrete just a few feet underneath... so plant wont survive...

oregano, basil: need cool weather like in Cameron highlands... KL temperature will kill it... and if I'm not mistaken, basil can't take too much water in it's early stages... Now rainy season... sure die wan

Hello elizabeth,

Welcome!!! get your friends involved as well...

I totally agree with money plant... they're very strong... (google it if you're wondering what it looks like) and they like wet soil... now rainy season... best time to start

Another plant my mom swears by is the Mother-in-law-tongue plant (can google it as well) no mantainence needed at all... just plant, and it'll florish on it's own...

Hi Joanne,

Thanks for the welcome =)

The best thing to do is right now is to find a plot of empty land and experiment on it or anyone out there that have been gardening for years and can provide advise or baby plants/seeds would be the best... we can just "campak" everything we have, and watch what will happen to the plants and from there we will know what plants to cross out from our list...

Any suggestion on places to plant-plant??? I know Puncak Jalil is quite empty..

I think that as long as it is tropical/jungle plant, it should thrive. Because the weather and soil type suits it's needs... We dont even need to purchase plants like what they do in other countries. We can just take from the roadside or from our jungles/rivers... I've seen some spots with plants growing abundantly and unmanicured... this means that they dont belong to anybody, not even DBKL bothers if we take a few and plant elsewhere...

Another plant would be creapers... can grow them along cement walls on our highways... Places like Sri Hartamas, Penchala Link and near Western Digital/SS3 intersection are overgrown with creapers, can take from there and plant someplace else... what do you think?

As for locations, what say you if we start at bus stops and highways?

The website above explains about the lucky bamboo plant that is now a very hot trend to have at home. Part of the reason is feng shui, and the other are it's many shapes.

Eh apparently, florida people grow Rubber Tree indors : http://mgonline.com/rubber.html

that's very interesting... my grandparents were rubber tappers, and whenever i went back there, I'd spend evenings at the rubber estate, picking rubber seeds...

Hi all, I don't actually live in Malaysia yet but will be in a few years, so wanted to join the Malaysia group. We travel to malaysia several times a year and have many friends there. Anyway I currently live in Hong Kong and for some of the year the climate is just like Malaysia. I have started growing fruit trees on my roof in readiness to plant out. I grew them from seed after buying the fruit to eat. Maybe you could try Longan or Lychees they grown abundantly in the area I live (Lantau island not Hong Kong island). Papaya is really popular here too and seems to grown almost anywhere. Also we have alot of Banana trees.
If any of you guys are Facebook members go look for a group called the Malaysian Eco Warriors they do alot of stuff in the environment including re-planting of mangroves. They have alot of experience and ideas, perhaps you could pick up a tip or two from them and of course vice versa.
Whatever you do keep growing and planting.
