Wah....seeing the announcement, Mamarazzi was like in 7th Heaven. She started to prepared plants for to bring to the Plant Exchange to be adopted a month ago. 

Last Plant Exchange we brought boxes full of plants to be adopted and super happy that they were snapped up in no time at all. Hopefully this round will be the same.

(For illustration purposes only)


The rules are simple. ...

Bring a plant (or some plants) to the exchange. Make sure to label the ID of the plant. Drop the plant(s) at the exchange. And adopt a plant or two home.

Don't be shy if you do not have plants to be adopted/give out. Just come and bring one or two home. It's not compulsory to bring a plant for exchange but if you have, of course it is most welcomed.

This is also good for beginners who wanted to try gardening but unsure on how to go about it. Rather than going to the nurseries and fork out an unknown sum for a pot of plant . You can adopt a starter plant from the Bukit Jelutong Plant Exchange at no cost at all. The people at the plant exchange are very friendly and helpful.  

So come one come all.. See you there this SATURDAY ya.

P/s:  If you are using WAZE , there are 2 PappaRich at Bukit Jelutong. Make sure it's the one at Jalan Serambi U8/24 ya.

  1. If inly I live close by! But then again, even if I bring a pot home, it will eventually die. I'm hopeless, no green fingers.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Oh you used long lenses. No wonder it's so sharp and clear. Mamarazzi have one semi-DSLR but it konk-out already.

      Yup... love the plant exchange as we get to talk to the plant owners to see their experience in planting that particular plant

    1. Yes. And through the exchange we can also get to know how to take care of the plants that we are adopting. Unlike buying at stores...some store assistants can't help at all

  19. I would love to come for a plant exchange as I am looking for a spider plant in exchange for one of my bell pepper plants, lil kitten ... I do not know the correct name of the plant I am looking for ... but it is really tall and spidery and grows best in water. Love, cat.

    1. awwww..... we have loads of spider plants. Given out more than 30 of them during the 2nd plant exchange. They are so easy to grow. We are growing them at home coz of the haze. it helps purify the air.
