Now that everyone stays home and has more time with the family, there are no outdoors in sight aside from your small garden. These could be as small as pots around the walls, plants hanging on the grills of the windows, or the lawn outside the gate. With all the occasions you used to spend traveling now turned into limitless free time, we take up new discoveries.

Our dads for instance, who are now working at home would realize how much he has missed being just there – spending time with the family. The first thing he would most likely notice is how much his children have grown. He may have thought of bringing everyone to a Family Friendly Resort in Davao City. Or he might think this is high time to revamp and spruce up the yard!

Enter, the “Plantito” dad.

The last year has proven how so many things can change in so little time. We’ve witnessed various communities come to a bloom, including a whole band of green thumbs who seemed to have found comfort in the company of plants. To show our support for moms, dads and all those starting off their plantito and plantita journeys, we bring you new plants available in Malago Garden resort.

Ornamental Plants

Also known as decorative plants, these plants are grown solely to decorate with their colorful leaves and flowers. They do not have any other by-products like fruits. These kinds of plants may be grown at flowerbeds or on as hedges for a design outside the gates. With the most obvious purpose that they are very aesthetically appealing especially with the right mix of colors, they still have other unseen purposes.

Ornamental plants add fragrance and bring clean air. We have many plants at the Malagos Garden Resort but not every plant there has been stably propagated yet. One of the plants we have newly multiplied successfully is the Philo or Philodendron Selloum "Hope" Houseplant. Plants have different names, by naming its scientific name I hope we would be on the same page. This is a small simple plant that could be indoors and outdoors on shaded locations. It's the perfect pants for a dad's taste.

We have also successfully reproduced a number of foxtail palm trees (Wodyetia bifurcata). This is perfect if you are planning to create a shady space for your lawn and keep plants that should be kept under the shade. The newly propagated philodendron red majesty and Calathea is also a colorful plant to mix that should be under indirect sunlight to keep its vibrant colors and leaf patterns. 

Hanging Plants

These are decorative plants but suspended from chains, ropes, railings, fences, gates, or anywhere else where a basket could be hanged. This allows the opportunity to have more plants in a limited space. Aside from the colorful plants itself, one could be artistic on the basket for the plant. 

Lately we have successfully generated a stable number of big wandering jew and syngonium hanging plants. These plants fall to the ground as they grow. With their patterned leaves and lively colors they would look like the majestic hair of Rapunzel calling her prince to climb up.

Other Plants

We have around 60 other types of plants that have always been available in our garden. Aside from ornamental plants and hanging plants, we also have herbs, vegetables, trees and even seeds ready for your father’s tender loving care. 

Of course the plants you may give to your plantito dad will not be the only ones receiving love. The best gift for Father’s day will always be us, his children. Who are thankful to have him despite his imperfections. He still deserves a plant that could change his life to build good hobbies that would replace vices. 

Not all plants should be treated the same. That is why if you would come over or stop by our garden to grab a plant we have gardeners who could share experience based tips on how to take care of your purchased plant. Only here at Malagos Garden Resort.
