If there is one plant market you must visit in the whole of Thailand, it's this one. Go at night after dinner e.g. 8 or 9 p.m. and you can digest your dinner while walking around the plant market in the cool of the night. Don't go during the day as it can be very hot. your tips not adequate leh they r opened mainly thu and before Not on fri-weekends , if i m not wrong (pls re confirm) my advice is not to rush in when it is close to closing hours not all work till the dot, some might end off earlier (so not advisable to reach there at 8pm to help close the stalls) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it thrives in warm climate like ours. It is part of Caladium bicolor and its cultivars' normal growth cycle to undergo a period of above ground growth and underground dormant resting state. Whenever the condition is unfavorable for Caladiums (e.g. too cold, not enough water) they will undergo dormancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i knw, generally orchids are not too expensive but how expensive per pot is considered expensive to u? Some varieties of succulents are not difficult to grow in our climate, eg. gymnocalycium,; if you get from the 'right' sellers whose succulents has already climatised, it will be easier for you to maintain...the soil medium are readily available in most nurseries but so far Candy's has a good selection At the last GDO, i saw a booth selling young orchid plants with pictures of the bloom which looks very different from most you will see... the prices averagely 70sgd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
