Humid Plant House

Humid Plant House

Plant conservatory

The exhibits in the Humid Plant House comprise a wide variety of Ferns, Palms, Bromeliads, Carnivorous Plants and Jungle Foliage Plants from South Africa, Southeast Asia and America. These exhibits are arranged in zonal groups according to their places of origin. Plant species with ecological features and economic values such as Rubber Tree, Coffee, Cacao, Breadfruit Tree and Vanilla have been specially collected. Blooming and fruiting have been recorded for some of these species.

The Humid Plant House is maintained at a year-round temperature ranging from 23℃ to 33℃ through an automatic heating and cooling system.

The automatic fogging system will produce a layer of floating water vapour underneath the glazed cover. The water vapour absorbs much of the solar energy during evaporation and is discharged through the vents on the rooftop.
