  6. Normala and Mohd Hafiz, the pictures are taken near an empty ground. It is growing wild there. You can buy the plant from nurseries and keep the seeds for planting. I used to have this plant but not anymore.

    1. Annie, nurseries here do not sell the seeds, but they do sell them in potted form or as a hanging plant. You can buy these starter plants from Sg Buloh nurseries.
