4Z e Plant @ Subang Parade
It has been a while since I last visited Subang Parade, the first shopping centre in Subang Jaya. What a pleasant surprise it was for me when I went there last week... the place looked exciting with many eateries and shops :-)
During weekends, there are a number of stalls on the first floor, retailing a range of captivating products. One of them, 4Z e Plant, is a stall that sells pitcher plants!
4Z e Plant opens its stall at Subang Parade from 11.00am to 9.00pm on Saturdays and 11.00am to 6.00pm on Sundays. Its owner, Fauzi, has been selling pitcher plants here for four years already.
Do you notice the plant that is tagged with a price of RM220 in the pic above? That's the most expensive one I saw at the stall that weekend! But don't worry, the not-so-rare cum young ones cost only about RM5, which is pretty affordable for beginners ;-)
Plant Variety Rating: 3.75 | I was amazed by the variety of nepenthes, sarracenia, drosera, cephalotus and heliamphora that was on display. The nepenthes are certainly going to draw the attention of Chinese shoppers as it is quite a popular ornamental plant especially during this festive season. To some, pitchers are considered 'sacks of peace'. In Cantonese, they are sometimes referred to as chu long yap sui which means 'water pouring into the swine's cage' (read this interesting article in The Star).
I was very much attracted to the young plants that were on display. As a gardener myself, I find growing young plants much more satisfying than growing older plants.
I also spotted some tillandsia also. Aside from this weekend stall, he also runs a nursery at Ampang which opens during weekdays. His nursery grows both local and imported pitcher plants, having more than 80 species and hybrids! I am now so looking forward to visit his nursery to see more of his stock of pitcher plants.
Plant Condition Rating: 4.0 | The condition of most of the plants are pretty good.
I like those cool plant ID tag! Even if you are not buying any, you would have an educational tour of pitcher plants. So, bring your children (or yourself!) there for a learning weekend :-)
