Gardening can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. “Gardening gives you a chance to focus on something and put your mind to work with a goal and a task in mind,” Dr. Hutchins, an internal medicine Doctor, says, “which is helpful especially now with so much illness and death and talk of death, just to see things growing and things thriving.” This is one of the many reasons why I fell in love with gardening. It is both rewarding and enjoyable. There are now many Davao plants available online but one that I really love are the ones from the luscious gardens of Malagos. Three of my top choices in their plant offers are the:

Fiddle Leaf Fig. The Ficus lyrata are the “it” houseplant that is here to stay even post-pandemic. It appreciates warm, humid environments, a fair amount of water and plenty of light. A few hours of direct sun is beneficial. This stunning plant with huge green leaves and an even larger following of houseplant fans offers visual impact in anyone’s space unmatched when given proper conditions and care.

Moonlight. The Philodendron moonlight has a brilliant neon green to yellow coloration. It is a popular, easy-care tropical house plant. A great color contrast plant for shady spots in your garden. It is best grown in well-drained, moist soil in part shade to full shade. Do not expose yourself to direct sunlight. They also don’t like overly wet or cold soils so avoid alkaline soil. It is perfect for bright, warm indoor spaces.

The best place to buy a plant in Davao is through a Davao resort in Calinan called the Malagos Garden Resort. They have an online store where you can simply order what plants you want to have.
