Croaking_Toad SG Would like to know how many of you out there keep a fruiting plant or two outside their HDB unit? I have got a chilli plant outside mine but whenever a chilli starts budding out, it will be 'lost' within a day. Anybody face the same problem of passerbys helping themselves to your plants? Any suggestions on how to deal with this?
Xephone_xenon SG Below my house got one auntie she take one paper and write. "Jing gao ni bu yao tou wo de hua, bu ran wo bao jing zua ni!" Like that two long liao. I teach you, you take one huge piece of wate paper then right. "YOU3 DU2" Then can liao lo.
Croaking_Toad SG Someone told me to stick the end of josssticks (the wooden part) around the plant. Now that might attract unwanted attention from the 'other' world
elindra SG Maybe put a notice outside reminding them that whether they like it or not, taking someone else's property is stealing Coz some people think that taking a chilli is something small and it's outside so it's not considered stealing. Maybe something like Stealing Chilli from my Plant makes you a Theif
gentleleaf SG I have this "xia liu" plant outside my house. Which some people believes you must include a few leaves of the plant with water and wash your face after attending funeral.. my neighbours used to just plucked a few leaves for their usage.. Recently they start to cut a few stems My poor plant getting botak!
Darkness_hacker99 SG Me have plants outside my house… Last time got notti kids go destroy my plants..
Wanda SG If yours is a big dog, it's illegal to keep in HDB. If it's a small dog, it's useless. Guns are illegal too, and toy guns are fun to play with.
red_amoeba SG it really depends on your neighbourhood, i once seen my neighbour's pot became ash tray and passer by residents along the corridor just snub their ciggys out at the pot. suggest is not to have fruiting plant loh....have cactus lah....or install a camera (not connected) like that they will think twice before meddling.
Croaking_Toad SG I was thinking about that too. But those small wireless ones fed to the computer. I wanna see who's that person who can't afford 30 cents of chillipadi from the market but insist on stealing a couple each time he/she walks past for his/her next meal
jeremylmh SG just put a spoilt webcame there can liao . used to have ppl stealing my slippers de but after installing the webcam (not connected) no more stolen slippers liao
FireIce SG i have a pot of i-dunno-wat at the corridor i have no idea wat it is and wat it will grow into but once in a while when i standing at the corridor to smoke i will jus water it for the sake of it
elindra SG Actually now I'm wondering if anyone will steal the curry leaves from our new plant My hubby fertilise it with Turtle shit
Croaking_Toad SG That reminds me, one of my neighbours had a curry leave plant that was close to being bald. Must had been a victim of cheapskate people too.
duckling SG my wife also planted a money plant outside our place. One day someone just carry off the whole thing, was growing beautifully too. And that’s not all. My slippers keep disappearing. One day my son’s shoes also gone. wtf is wrong with people?
LustyLucille SG Correct me if I'm wrong or being bias but I do notice if you were to stay in those 2 or 3 rooms flat the chances of things disappearing outside your corridor is far greater than those staying in 4 rooms and higher. Also 'newer' estates inhabitants are far more civic-minded.
