  1. Hi. I'm a beginner indoor gardener and I'm still struggling with soil-based plants while my pochos are thriving on water only. As such, I'm interested in getting the Baby Tears. Is there a specific nursery in KL where I can purchase this?

  2. Hi lilyant

    You will get better with soil-based plantings with more practice. Btw, my book do talk about indoor gardening. Check it out :)

    As for Pilea depressa (baby tears), at one time I saw a lot at this nursery...

    I hope they still have some stock there now.

    Best regards,
