A Kuala Lumpur-based plant nursery is almost out of lime trees. Its sales advisor Ahmad Nubli, 26, explains that many people are thronging to buy them because they symbolise good luck. He added that the nursery has stocked up on 25 types of popular plants, which include chrysanthemum , bamboo plant and pussy willow . Many of the Chinese New Year plants at the nursery are from Cameron Highlands, Pahang and Muar, Johor."Our customers have different preferences. Time-honoured classics like pussy willow and chrysanthemum appeal to the older generation. The younger generation prefers bamboo plants, pitcher plants and succulents.
Ahmad said people are willing to fork out a fair bit of money to buy prosperity plants during the Lunar New Year.
