Dear plant lovers,
Welcome to the charming balcony garden of a plant-obsessed grower in Malaysia. Lim Eng Seng, is a thrifty and resourceful gardener, acquiring nearly all his plants from cuttings and successfully growing them healthy and BIG.
Having just picked up the hobby 2 years ago, Lim mastered plant care thanks to his obsession with research and participation in the community. I am most impressed by his DIY sprinkler system, customized for individual plants needs.
His tiny west facing balcony is home to hundreds of plants across many generas - from common, to the rare. We tour his plant collection, spilling precious plant care secrets throughout.

This misting system is absolutely brilliant! I love the idea of putting a tea bag of fertilizer at the top of the moss pole; I've learned so much from this collector. I truly appreciate him sharing his balcony jungle; what an amazing experience ✨🙌

The plants look amazing… however, I’m not sure if I’d recommend the misting system for each plant… unless each plant you have dries out at the EXACT same time, which is impossible to gauge, and has the same needs for water. Again, that’s hard to match perfectly. Will they be fine? Likely… but I’ve seen people put sprinkler heads or misting systems in pots that ended up rotting, because there was just too much water being delivered to the container. Even on a moss pole, I think it could become too much. Unless it’s only on for 30 seconds at a time. I’d be worried about rot. Also, good idea with the Osmocote fertilizer pouch, but in my opinion, it is slightly excessive. 😂 Like having show dogs in a fancy dog show, being pampered and spoiled. Will they like it? Of course. But I don’t feel like aroid vines are the biggest feeders ever. They grow without human assistance up buildings, walls, bedrooms, etc. and there’s no moss, misting or fertilizer there! And I live in California, not even Penang or Singapore or anywhere tropical! Yet I have all these plants outside growing up the brick walls. And I feed them with Osmocote in the soil, or in their Pon/LECA, but that’s it. Twice a year. 😆

Sometimes the plants adapt to the watering too hehe. Especially if you propagate them or grow them from small. Usually what kills plants are sudden change in care style or environment

Very nice collection, I like a lot of variety in my collection as well :) Getting into the plant community has also helped me a lot. You can learn so much from other people and save yourself a lot of frustration. The internet is such a terrible place to look for correct information, even from growers themselves. So many times have I looked up plants and where the first 3 results all contradict each other in recommended lighting conditions (had that with Solanum Quitoense, which I've grown from seed). Finding out what the maximum height will approximately be, can also be quite the challenge haha
