Exploring the usage of native plants in Skyrise Greenery

Green walls and roof gardens are great places to showcase native plants. We should not only extend our ecological corridor at the street level but also above ground. Green walls and green roofs can provide additional surfaces in which native plants can be grown.

For example, the green wall at 6 Battery Road integrated native species such as Asplenium nidus, Davaillia Denticulate and Ficus Deltoidea.

Here are some of the native plants that can be grown on rooftops and green walls.

Clockwise (from left): Cyanotis cristata (Cyanotis), Portulaca Pilosa L. (Pigweed, Pink Purslane, Kiss Me Quick, Shaggy Portulaca, Hairy Portulaca), Ipomoea Pes-caprae (Beach Morning Glory), Aeschynanthus parvifolius (Lipstick Plant), Tristellateia australasiae (Australian Gold Vine).
