I want to culture palm oil because as we know,production of palm oil is vital especially in Malaysia because Malaysia is world's second- largest producer of the commodity after Indonesia. Since it has many benefits such as it is highly saturated vegetable fats along coconut oil,palm oil has become one of the most used and beneficial plants.

It is also used in the commercial food industry because of its lower cost and the high oxidative stability of the refined product when frying.They are also "good fats" because they are easly digested,increase metabolism and convert to immediate energy.They cannot be stored as body fat thus they can be healthier oil alternatives for those needing to loose weight! It is good right!

Lawsonia Inermis

Lawsonia inermis is the small flowering plant commonly found all over the world including India, Pakistan, Yemen, Morocco, Iran, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Egypt and Bangladesh. The common name of it is 'Henna', from Persian Word.

I think we can culture this plant many more because it is often needed for its coloring characteristics. Women always decorate their hands with henna during their marriages as well as men. Sometimes women just like henna because it can make their hands, feet and hairs attractive. Marriage is somewhat the event that will not end because it always happen every year, month, week or maybe everyday in different places. So henna are needed everyday, we can make them as commercial value.

True henna is only made from the dried crushed and powdered leaves from Lawsonia inermis, which are then mixed with a mild acid to release and activate the colour component, which is the called "Lawsone". It is then applied to the skin nails and hair in intricate patterns and left for a few hours to soak in. Lemon juice, tea and coffee are all common acids used to release the Lawsone from the powdered leaf, and there are millions of regional recipes online. It's an easy plant to grow, but takes about a month to germinate and doesn't like really low temps.

Numerous medicinal benefits of Henna:

-cooling agent

-skin problem

-remedy for hair loss

-treating creaking nails

-treating liver disorder

-remedy for headaches

Beneficial parts of the henna plant other than leaves are the bark, flowers as well as the seeds of the henna plant.

i suggest tomato to be cultured broadly in malaysia. this is because tomato has high economically value and ease to be practiced by the malaysian farmer.

tomato that has been cultured gives high yield and short duration of crop. this will increase the number of product which is the tomato itself. as we know, tomato has many nutrient content which are minerals, vitamins, essential amino acid, sugar and dietary fibre that are good to be consume by tha malaysian people. as malaysia can produce tomato in a large quantity and quality, malaysian people can get tomato easily in a fresh condition. tomato that has been cultured also has high resistance toward pests and diseases. this can reduce the risk of loss among the farmer. the tomato also has variety shapes, colour, size and taste. this show that tomato has high economical attractive. plus, tomato is important in many industrial products such as in sauce, juice, salad, cosmetics and others.

however, it is very hard to get, and the price is quite expensive in our country. thus, by culturing this plant, more avocados can be produced in mass. and indirectly, this will improve the quality of agricultural sector in our country.

In my opinion, hibiscus rosa-sinensis need to be cultured in Malaysia. Hibiscus have medical uses such as flowers and leaves that can be made into teas and liquid extracts that are used to treat a variety of conditions. Besides that, the roots are used to cure ailments such as cough, hair loss or hair greying. Hibiscus tea also contains bioflavonoids which are believed to help prevent an increase in LDL cholesterol which can increase the buildup of plaque in the arteries. Sidram A. et. al. their research indicates some potential in cosmetic skin care, for example, an extract from hibiscus has be shown to functions as an anti-color agent by absorbng ultraviolet radiation.

It has been declared that hibiscus is the National Flower of Malaysia. I think as Malaysian we should be proud with this beautiful flower. We should make it compulsory that every houses need to plant the hibiscus as it is colorful which can make a decorative addition to a home and garden. Happy 58th National Day, everyone :)

In Malaysia, green tea is not a popular daily drink like in Japan. Most of the Malaysians did not notice the head to toe benefits that we can get by drinking green tea. They tend to buy the expensive food supplements for their health when actually they can get healthy body just by drinking green tea.

Habbatus sauda/Black seed (Nigella sativa)

Black seed has been recognized for its medical and culinary uses dated over three thousand years ago. It is believed to be native to the Mediterranean region and people from the past have used black seed to cure numerous ailments aside from improving their health.The Black Seed is rich in nutritional values. It contain almost 40% fixed oils and 1.4% volatile oils. It also contains around fifteen amino acids, proteins, calcium, iron, sodium, and potassium. Among its most effective compositions are thymoquinone, dithymoquinone, thymohydroquinone, and thymol. It is also high in protein, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, C and niacin as well as calcium, potassium and iron. It contains anti-virus bacteria, carotene, anti-cancer fighting material, and hormones which give strength and activity. Archaeologists even found some black seed oil in King Tutankhamun’s tomb showing that the use of black seed was widespread even then and that it played a major role in Ancient Egypt. In 1959, researches have extracted the “Nigellone”, the active principle of black seed oil. This material contain no toxic nor harmful effects.

The reason why I want to cultivate black seed is mainly because of its medicinal properties such as:

1)  Black seed oil is composed by two oils: volatile oil that contains its active principle “thymoquinone” at the rate of 0.45% and fatty oil at the rate of 33%. Researchers confirmed that this volatile oil was efficient in decreasing articular inflammation.

2) taking Black seed increased the antibodies and significantly reinforced the immune system

3) Research suggests that the Black Seed is an effective antitumor treatment for certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and fibrocystic breast disease.

4) Contain beta-sitosterol, which is known to have anti-carcinogenic

properties.

5) Beauty wise, it helps slowing the aging process.

It is narrated in a hadith by Abu Hurairah that Prophet Muhammad said, “Use black seed regularly, because it is a cure to every disease except death,” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

This shows that there are myriads of health benefits that one can get by consuming black seed therefore it culturing this valuable plant will help improving general health and thus leads to a happy lifestyle.

Aloe vera plant

If I was given a golden opportunity to choose, a plant that I think need to be cultured is an aloe vera plant. There are numerous of logical reasons why I choose this plant to be cultured in a laboratory.

Aloe vera plant is a succulant plant species. It is a species of an Aloe, which is native to nothern Africa. It is also has a remarkable structure and it is an incredible list of most ingredients. Aloe vera is a plant with many health benefits and it comprises lots of amazing secrets as well as untold stories behind its beautiful structurally created plant.

This species is frequently cited as being consumed in herbal medicine field. As we can observed from the scientific facts, the extraction of aloe vera are widely being utilized in the cosmetics and alternative medicine industries, as well as being marketed as variously having the propeeties of healing, soothing and rejuvenating of the skin. It is used in traditional medicine as a multipurpose of skin treatment.

Besides that, this unique plant is often known as 'natural healer', a plant with many surprises. It is a stemless plant, growing about 60 to 100 cm tall, spreading by the offsets. Aloe vera has thick and fleshy, green to grey-green leaves as well as some varities showing white flecks on their upper and lower stem surfaces. The margin of the leaf is serrated and it has small white thorns.

So, why did I choose this plant to be cultured in a laboratory?

1) It has a long life span for about 12 years

2) It can be grown at both indoors as well as outdoors environment in warm climates

3) It is an established plant that are able to survive a drought quite well, but for the benefits of the plant, the water should be provided

10) The aloe gel is cold, moist and comfortable to be applied on human skin. This plant always stays in a  humid condition. It closes its pores to prevent moisture loss.

Aloe leaf structure is made up of four unique layers, including:

i) Rind = the outer protective layer, where the synthesis of all nutrients take place

ii)  Sap = a layer of bitter fluid, contains anthraquinones, which aids to preserve the plant from animals

iii) Mucilage gel = the inner part of the leaf that is filtered out to make Aloe vera gel

iv) Aloe vera(inner gel) = consists of 8 essential amino acids that, the human body needs but unable to manufacture it by themselves.

GRAPES

Can we grow grapes in Malaysia? Of course we can. Grapes can successfully grow in Malaysia based on several factors. Every grape have their own specific condition to grow, which are some can survive in humid, some in hot and some in heavy rain weather. They must be exposed to sunlight for more than 80%. They also must have good air circulation. They are grown on the lands with no flood and the growing techniques suit to the Malaysian culture.

Why I want to culture grapes? Grapes have their own benefit to our health.

There are studies that show grapes can help in prevention of cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, and constipation.

Grapes contain powerful antioxidants known as polyphenols. This polyphenol can be found in the skins of red grapes. They may slow or prevent many types of cancer, including esophageal, lung, mouth, pharynx, endometrial, pancreatic, and prostate and colon. The high polyphenol content in grapes may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by preventing platelet build-up and at the same time reducing blood pressure.

The fiber and potassium in grapes also support heart health. Potassium has many benefits to the body. A high potassium intake along with a decrease in sodium intake is the most important dietary change that can make a person reduces their risk of cardiovascular disease.

CARROT

An overwhelming body of evidence exists suggesting that increased intake of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables reduce cancer and cardiovascular disease risks, carrots included.

Carrots are rich in vitamin A.
Cancer: A variety of dietary carotenoids have been shown to have anti-cancer effects due to their antioxidant power in reducing free radicals in the body.

Lung Cancer: One study found that current smokers who did not consume carrots had three times the risk of developing lung cancer compared with those who ate carrots more than once a week.

Colorectal Cancer: Beta-carotene consumption has been shown to have an inverse association with the development of colon cancer in the Japanese population.

Leukemia: Carrot juice extract was shown to kill leukemia cells and inhibit their progression in a 2011 study.

Prostate Cancer: Among younger men, diets rich in beta-carotene may play a protective role against protease cancer, according to a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health's Department of Nutrition.

Vision: According to Duke ophthalmologist Jill Koury, MD, vitamint A deficiency causes the outer segments of the eye's photoreceptors to deteriorate, damaging normal vision. Correcting vitamin A deficiencies with foods high in beta-carotene will restore vision.

Studies have shown that it is unlikely that most people will experience any significant positive changes in their vision from eating carrots unless they have an existing vitamin A deficiency, which is common in developing countries.

So where did all the hype surrounding carrots and vision come from? During World War II, the British Royal Air Force started an advertising campaign claiming that the secret to their fighter pilots clear, sharp vision was carrots. Realistically, the fighter pilot's accuracy was due to a new radar system the British wanted to keep secret from the Germans, but the rumor spread and remains popular today.

Other possible benefits: The antioxidants and phytochemicals in carrots may also help with blood sugar regulation, delay the effects of aging, and improve immune function.

i would like to culture the extremely rare black rose.

The black rose also known as the Turkish Halfeti Roses are extremely rare. they can only be found in a small Turkish village of Halfeti. They are shaped just like regular roses, but their color sets them apart. These roses so black, you’d think someone spray-painted them. But that’s actually their natural color.

These flowers are seasonal which means they only grow during the summer in a very small number. These is why these roses are very rare. Thanks to the unique soil conditions of the region, and the pH levels of the groundwater that seeps in from the river Euphrates, the roses take on a devilish hue. They bloom dark red during the spring and fade to black during the summer.

The Turkish people consider the flowers to be the symbols of mystery, hope and passion, and also death and bad news. But somehow i think this black roses are far more romantic than the red roses. Therefore, it would be an ideal gift to your loved ones.

Unfortunately, these black roses are nearing their extinction due to the migration of the residents from the old Halfeti back in 1990s, when the Birecik Dam was constructed. However, measures have been taken by their goverment to replant this roses’ seeds back to their old place.

Although this flower has no medical importance. I really hope that by culturing this rarest flower, we can assure the next generation to enjoy the beauty of black roses. May these black roses somehow can replace the red roses in terms of their uses and also their significance.

I would probably culture berries as it has high demand and wide distribution not only in Malaysia but also across worldwide. There are also varieties of berries which each individual berry contains a unique blend of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, including polyphenols like anthocyanins. Nowadays, people use berries as beauty and health product. Europe for example, takes berries as the main ingredient in their supplement such as Brands Innershine Berry Essence which is very popular among Malaysians.

Berries also have its own benefits which most of us do not realize. It helps to keep our mentally sharp which make us experienced less mental decline (if we eat at least one berry a week). Furthermore , berries also help manage diabetes , might prevent Parkinson’s, boost our heart health, used for weight control, lower our blood pressure, help to fight cancer, Alzheimer’s prevention and also fight urinary tract infections.

However, in growing berries, it requires suitable weather. As for culturing plant tissue, the environment can be controlled. Therefore it is possible to culture berries in Malaysia. Hopefully I can make my own health product which is made from variety of berries to help those who suffer from Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons. Below the videos which is very nice to see as an example to culture berries

POMEGRANATE

As for me, I really want to culture pomegranate (punica granatum) . There are many reasons why I want to culture this type of plant.

First, of course because my family and I favored this fruit. It is really delicious , refreshing, appetizing and has a unique taste.

Second, it can easily grown in our country weather and it crunchy jewel-like seeds make me feels it is a super beautiful fruit. Subhanallah...

Third, as we know, pomegranate is one of the tropical fruit, but it is very expensive. The price may reach until MYR 5 each. Therefore, if I can culture this fruit with a lot more, maybe the price will be cheaper. Who knows right? Because not everyone can afford to buy this fruit unless they are planting this fruit in their own yard.

Besides, wonderful red seeds of pomegranate also rich in fiber and low in calories, it makes for a good food choice for someone looking to lose weight and also helps in maintaining healthy weight at the same time.

The pomegranate also known as super food because this ruby red fruit has been shown to be a cure-all for just about any ailment, one of the most powerful anti-oxidant of all fruits and protect against depression and osteoporosis.

Last but not least, I want to culture this because it is one of the fruits that has been mentioned in Quran in Surah Ar-Rahman verses 68-69 " In them would be fruits and dates and pomegranates then which of the favor of your Lord will you denied?".

For more information, you can watch this video. Thank you...

FIGS FRUIT

Figs are originally from Egypt and Turkey are the largest producer of figs in the world. I have been thinking in culturing figs after I watched a documentary about it on television. Figs are not widely known in our country and most of us only get to taste the dried ones.

Figs have potential to be grown in our country as it is suitable with our climate and Malaysia is the only country where we can have all-year-round production of figs.

Figs also have a lot of health beneficial. Some of the benefits is figs is low in calories. Dried figs also a source of minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants.

Figs also can be grown in numerous methods including hydroponics and soil-less systems. Moreover, all parts of the fig plants can be used and beneficial to us. For example, the leaves, have been extract into tea with health benefits

Here is the documentary that makes me prone to know about figs:

As far as I concern, people today are taking “aging” factors as a serious matter, both gender, woman and man by consuming so many cosmetic products and worse, they prefer plastic surgery as the last option for a wrinkle-free and flawless skin.

So, instead of wasting their money by having a plastic surgery or consuming chemically cosmetic products that can bring harmness to their health, why not they consume the miraculous fruit, mangosteen or its scientific name Garcinia mangostana which helps to slow down the aging of skin as it rich in antioxidant properties.

Scientific Research has revealed that mangosteen contains a class of naturally occurring polyphenol compounds known as xanthones. There are two types of xanthones in this fruit – alpha mangosteen and gamma mangosteen. Xanthones and their derivatives have been shown to have several benefits, including slow down aging.  Xanthones are also an effective remedy against various cardiovascular diseases. These antioxidants have healing properties which heal cells damaged by free radicals, anti-inflammatory and ward off degenerative diseases and physical and mental deterioration.

I prefer to culture mangosteen as ‘anti-aging’ products as it is a tropical evergreen tree, which suitable with the climate in Malaysia and is widely available in several South East Asia regions like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam and also in some regions of Africa. So, it is quite easy for our industry to culture this fruit in massive amounts since it also been planted in our country.

Paddy tissue culture

Paddy (Oryza sativa) is one of cereal crops and is a staple food for many people in the world which include Asia, Latin America and Caribbean. There are two types of paddy rice which are white rice and brown rice. It is a primary energy resources as rice is rich in carbohydrates. It acts as fuel for the body and help brain to function normally.

Why paddy plant need to be cultured:

1. By culturing paddy, we can produce high quality and nutritious desired paddy.

2. Scientist can prevent shortage of food supply when disaster happen as it can be yield in large scale.

3. Health benefits: From a research,rice found to contain low cholesterol, high vitamin and minerals (niacin, vitamin D,calcium,fiber,iron, and riboflavin)

ROSELLE

Roselle or its scientific name is Hibiscus Sabdariffa is a very unique plant. This perennial herb is one of the species of hibiscus .Roselle plant have fruit that become mature in about six months and that is when it gets beautiful bright red color. There are many reasons for Roselle to be cultured because every part of Roselle plant have many used either in industries or health benefits. For example: 1)The Stem: cultivated for production of Bast Fiber or Skin Fiber which is then used to make burlap(woven fabric,gunny cloth). 2)The sepals: used by some countries for food colouring,cakes,syrups,jams and many kinds of drinks. 3)Green leaves: used for salads,curry and teas. Besides,Roselle tea or red tea has distinctive sweet and sour taste due to its citric acid and absorbic acid content. The tea is high in antioxidant and can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease because it can retard the clogging of blood vessel. Roselle also have many nutrients such as vitamin(A,B2,B3,C),protein,calcium,iron and many more that can lower blood sugar and cholesterol, prevent dental decay, slow down premature aging, prevent joint inflammation, improve concentration, reduce the risk of a stroke, stabilize blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack and cancer growth. Roselle consumption will reduce body weight because of its three main elements which are caffeine as a stimulant, L-theanine with its capacity to neutralise caffeine’s dangerous effects and suppress the appetite,and EGCC for accelerated fat burning.

COFFEE

Human have been drinking coffee for at least 500 years. It is now one of the most widely consumed beverages in Malaysia and worldwide. It is also one of the profitable product in many countries. Although loved by some many believes that high consumption of coffee is considered to have negative health consequences, often attributed to the stimulant effects of caffeine. However, some research proved that it also have many potential benefits to human health.

Out of more than 100 coffee species only two are commercial species: Coffea arabica L. (arabica type coffee) and Coffea canephora p. ex Fr. (canephora or Robusta type coffee). Arabica type coffee is typical of the highland growing regions with 44 chromosomes and it is responsible for almost 75 % of world production while the remaining 25 % is occupied by the Robusta type coffee with 22 chromosomes which is grown in lowland regions.

xtensive studies had been made regarding the health consequences of coffee, and have generally not found negative consequences. In fact, several potential health benefits of coffee had been found by many researchers such as it is one of the largest sources of antioxidants in the diet and contains various compounds with potential beneficial effects on glucose metabolism, inflammation, reduces risk of cancer and improve blood vessel functions. Thus, by using tissue culture further research could be made to studies the cellular and molecular components of coffee to testify all those negative indictment or we might even found other health benefits.

Furthermore, other complication such as Coffea’s long period for fruit development and the bean-to-bean generation time which a cycle takes about four years and low pest resistance could be overcome by plant cell culture techniques that could provide opportunities to strengthen the plant and shorten the time required for coffee growth.

As a conclusion, there still many speculation about coffee that need to be prove its authenticity through research. I considered coffee as an important plant to be cultured because of high demand of many countries for it, show many people enjoy consuming coffee in their daily life, which make it even more important to be studied intensively by the researcher for the sake of human health.

What would you feel if one day you ask your children, "What is Rafflesia?" and they have no clue what it is? You'll feel sad, won't you?

Hence, I think Rafflesia needs to be cultured because it is already an endangered species and in near extinction. It may not give much benefits to us but Rafflesia is one of the symbols of uniqueness of our country, since it can only be found in Southeastern Asia, mainly in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Thus, by culturing Rafflesia, we can help in preserving it for our future generation. Although it may seem impossible to culture this flower, but lets make the impossible, possible. 💪

Stevia After a long thought, finally I come up with stevia ( stevia rebaudiana) which is native to South America.. Reasons I choose stevia as plant need to be cultured because: 1. As far as I concern, there are still people that not widely known yet about stevia and only depending on sugar 2. It is a natural sweetener that taste just as good as sugar 3. Stevia is 100% natural with zero calorie and have a lot of benefits that have been confirmed in human studies such as diabetes, osteoporosis and hypertension. 4. Nowadays, a lot of Malaysian have been diagnosed with diabetes and also high blood pressure due to highly intake of sugar (from sugarcane) in their daily diet. Stevia as sugar substituent is belief can reduce the risk of both diseases. 5. It is easy to get by our own as it came directly from the soil.. 6. If stevia is being cultured commercially, I believe we can obtained the benefits economically as well as produce a healthy community.

Sunflower

Sunflower have big, daisy-like flower faces of bright yellow petals(and occasionally red) and brown center that ripen into heavy heads filled with seeds. This beautiful creation of Allah S.W.T is really garnishing the Earth floor. It is tall and course, the plants have creeping or tuberous roots and large, bristly leaves. Some sunflowers grow to over 16 feet in height though there are also varieties today that have been developed for small spaces and containers.

It is an easy-care flower as it is easy to grow as long as the soil is not waterlogged. Most of them was heat and drought-tolerant. They make excellent cut flowers and many are attractive to bees and birds.

Why it is needed to be cultured because sunflower can be used to make a sunflower oil which bring many benefits in our health compare with palm oil which have more saturated fats and been used as cooking oil.

The benefits of sunflower oil : a) The balance of fatty acids found in sunflower oil, including a good amount of linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) can lower cardiovascular diseases and the chance of heart attack. Sunflower oil doesn’t contain any saturated fats, which means that it can actually reduce our overall cholesterol content in the body. This means that we are far less likely to develop atherosclerosis, which clogs arteries, raises blood pressure, and increases our chances of suffering a heart attack or a stroke.

b) In cosmetic application, sunflower oil is rich in vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant in the body. It has been directly connected to preventing heart disease and boosting your immune system. Furthermore, vitamin E is specifically related to improving skin health and regenerating cells. This means that your skin is better protected against damage from the sun, as well as the natural degradation of age that occurs when free radicals are present in the body. Antioxidants like vitamin E neutralize free radicals, keeping them from destroying or damaging healthy cells. You can see an increased reduction in scars, quicker wound healing, and a healthier natural glow to your skin.

c) The fatty acid content in sunflower oil is also connected to energy levels in the body. Saturated fats can make you feel sluggish, while unsaturated fats, of which sunflower oil has many, can keep you feeling energized and ready to face your day!

d) Cancer prevention. Sunflower oil is rich in antioxidants and substances that act as antioxidants. Vitamin E, which has varieties known as tocopherols, are powerful antioxidants that can eliminate free radicals before they can mutate healthy cells into cancerous cells. Specifically, sunflower oil has been linked to preventing colon cancer, but there are a number of research studies ongoing to verify its effects on a wider variety of cancers.

e) Act as anti-inflammatory capacity. Sunflower oil has been positively correlated with a lower amount and severity of asthma attacks because of its anti-inflammatory qualities, which are derived from its vitamin content, as well as the beneficial fatty acids sunflower oil contains. Along with asthma, sunflower oil has also been linked to a reduction in severity of arthritis, which is an inflammatory disease.

Last but not least why it is needed to be cultured because my mom love sunflower so much. It's yellow petals with big brown center ripens with seeds is really astonishing my mom. As long she is happy, i want it to be cultured :)

Mulberry - Morus indica

Mulberry or in its scientific name, Morus is a genus of flowering plant in the family Moraceae is one of the some berries that can be planted here in Malaysia. It is because of it can be grow either in wild or under cultivation in temperate world regions. There are some species of Mulberry throughout the world but Morus indica is the species that grow in the Southeast Asia region.

Why Mulberry plants comes into my mind not only because they are so beneficial in term of health and some industries. The seeds themselves are not easy to germinate into a plantlet, that is why this plants need to be culture widely in our country.

This berries compose of health promoting phyto-nutrient compounds like polyphenol pigment antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins that are essential for optimum health. As for example, anthocyanins, resveratrol, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, zea-xanthin, ß-carotene and a-carotene. Mulberries are an excellent source of iron, which is a rare feature among berries. They also good source of minerals like potassium, manganese, and magnesium. They are rich in B-complex group of vitamins and vitamin K. Contain very good amounts of vitamin B-6, niacin, riboflavin and folic acid.

In some industries, for example the silk industries, Mulberry leaves, particularly those of the white mulberry, are ecologically important as the sole food source of the silkworm, the pupa or cocoon of which is used to make silk. Besides that, anthocyanins which contain inside mulberries can be use as fabric tanning agent or food colourant of high value colour.

In a nutshell, I think that this so-called Morus indica should be culture widely in Malaysia and be studied because of its benefits which not solely come from the fruits but also the leaves and might be the whole plant in future. The knowlegde we gain in this world are like a drop of water inside the ocean, which means that there are billions of information which we might not known yet.

Orchidaceae

When the orchid blooms, we can tell how Allah s.w.t. have blessed them with unquestionable beauty. Being hung all over everywhere in the houses, maybe rarely at foyer too, indeed sparks the local Interior Designer to blueprint them on the paperwork.

Since ages before, orchid is well known for having miniscule seeds that can be visually cognated to spores. One of the Plant scientists I've met had suggested of culturing this typical flowering plant as he said that the Orchid's seedlings are easily mutated. Last year, my roommates and I had made a field trip to available nursery in Pahang and we seldomly found any orchids offered. We can conclude that orchids are still not so accessible here

By culturing this Orchid plants, we can promote a greener life in our community as most of the people I've met are fonded with the beauty of orchid and "petting" them at home will improved the air quality and reduced seasonal ailments.

Besides that, the presence of plants like orchid can have a calming influence thus, improving our mood. Therefore, with progressive culturing of orchid which can be said rarely found in Malaysia, we can inculcate the passion in owning orchid that creates a greener atmosphere among the citizens. With the proper care of culture, we can grow a high quality orchids.
