Promising “vertical forest” in China overrun by plants and plagued by mosquito infestation 

It looks better but all that extra weight will risk collapsing the balcony. Until I know exactly how much mass those balconies can hold I'd never move there.

@@hurrdurrmurrgurr just you wait a couple more years and these buildings are going to be all over the news because they'll be all over the floor, too.

@@hurrdurrmurrgurr Umm .. the plants don't add the weight to the balcony, they just transform the soil (in the pots and trenches) into branch and leaves.

Citronella

@@gorilladisco9108 I'm sorry I forgot water and carbon dioxide are weightless, my mistake.

I would not be surprised if those people that buy in are only few people that only want to make money. Those people are well known to buy first and sell it later in higher price.

it happens when only one person who own that entire building.

That's China for you

I've made up my mind. ☁️ it's depressing.

i agree

Anyone with common sense already knew this would fail

And plus you wasted milions if dolar

Wasted million dollars is not a total loss LOL

Say that to the investor

They destroyed actual forests to build a bunch of concrete structures with plants stuffed into balconies (the Chinese government's idea of a forest). What exactly did they expect was going to happen.

I know what you mean. Plants like lavenders or citruses might repel mosquitos. But most of the repel plants aren't forest plants. They'll be dominated by actual forest plants. That's why, garden is more suitable for ecological or environmental buildings.

Taking care of maintenance? Who will pay for it? These housing are a form of investment and these people who bought them are not even living in there. Local government knows it and these building always sold out, then building fall down due to cheap quality and cut corner since the land belong to the government, so if the building fall apart, time to build more and sell more.

Agreed. It sounds like an unreasonable problem to have. Here in the US, many housing complexes have HOA fees. The homeowners have to pay dues to the HOA that keeps up the property. And regarding the mosquito issue, all they have to do is mix Bti into the soil (Bti is Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis). It's sold here under the brand name Mosquito Dunks. It's a bacteria (harmless to humans and most animals) that kills mosquitoes. It's relatively cheap and I use it in all my outdoor pots.

The unused apartments are either owned by the government or foreign investors. They will knock them down before any reasonable maintenance

It doesn't look abandoned at all

and they cant even film there

some properties never get settled and are just investments. unfortunately this would mean the planner would never get to try their idea.

The urban jungle look was the selling point.

@@seraby7151 yeah, this kind of negative framing isn't unusual for SCMP.

This looks like pre-pocalypse

Would've made much more sense. Then if nobody moved in the plants would not be there to grow wild and unmanaged.

Than you probably doesnt have appropriate plants for your climate. Most indigenous species does not require heavy maintenance and some of them are outright "plant and forget"! Consult local botanist or agronomist for advice and tips!

Exactly, I had a garden in 2019 with cucumber, strawberry, bell pepper and basil. The hot climate of subtropical Florida prevented the strawberries from growing, the cucumber did fine but pests used to the climate destroyed it. Same with bell peppers, pests ate it and left the plants alone. Basil however does very well in tropical climates and is a natural pest repellent, so the basil I planted ended up growing up to half a meter tall, I could pick the leaves whenever I wanted and pests avoided every part of the plant. For my next garden I'm planning on using basil as a companion plant for plants with fruit to keep pests away.

@@arcturus9366 do you know anything about Catnip? I live in Mediterranean climate

@@EZ-mx5ci Catnip is a natural pest repellent I believe, I haven't used it in my garden yet though.

@@havenprice you need plants like lavender that repel mosquitrash

Do architects ever think?

@@darkchoco7407 Yes, if not our buildings, houses, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure would be a major safety hazard, and would most likely fail. Major mistake by their part for not thinking about being overrun by plants, but the government (I'm assuming they are the ones that started the project), should have been the ones to hire ecologists and see if they will benefit from their actions.

@@darkchoco7407 what a joke, i mean your question... or maybe you're really joking.

The main problem here is I think, the tenants themselves who didn't take care of theirs. Those rooms are sold out! So isn't it more like private property now? Only just a handful of ppl moving in there. :/

@@letssmile3564 Thing is, the project should have planned the rooms wouldn't be sold and inhabited quickly enough, and chosen plants accordingly. For example, my city (Guayaquil) plants neem trees all over as a passive mosquito repellent. I'm pretty sure there must be other species that could have been used as passive pest control.

We have plenty of birds around in Singapore, so now we have bird-related noise pollution and mosquitoes. It's along the lines of the myth of bringing in cats will eliminate rodent problems - hint: it didn't.

@@cat-vv9xb You live in a modern Mega City, but birds create "noise pollution".... Right. I guess the draining pots aspect will be the more effective thing. But still, the right types of birds will eat mosquitos just as cats will eat rodents if people don't feed them all the time.

in Milan we have 2 buildings really similar (they re called "bosco verticale") and people live in them. Did not put in any extra bird lol. idk what went wrong in china Maybe they choose the wrong type of plants?

@Lucas De Araújo Marques yeah I realized that later lol But the main point is the same: in that area of china don't grow the right plants for those buildings

@@foreverdolphinlove2000 Or they have a more humid climate where mosquitoes thrive 🤔

Dragonflies are a great idea!!! I would suggest growing mint to keep them away, but that's even better.

They are not that bad.

To think that 100 years ago people thought we'd have them wiped out by now.

@norceros xD usually there's no mosq bc there's no plants. For example I live in 18th floor, but I have small garden in my balcony and it attracts insect

@Sizzle my Wizzle Exactly. It's actually a success, not a failure. They got the title all wrong.

They were hoping that actual human beings would move into these apartments that got sold and then tend the plants. Instead they got sold to venture capitalists as investments and now they’re rotting and making it miserable for everyone. They forgot to factor in neglectful investors

They're humans. They like control over nature. I mean they like to try..

yes. Which is why we removed the forest to create cities for people to live.

If the plants are surviving on their own it’s fine, if or when they move back in they can just clean it, think of it as an overgrown backyard in a summer home

It occurred to me that maybe the people who can afford a second apartment remember how hard they used to work on a farm, and they probably didn't want to go back to that? I'd love to live there. A few of us used to rent a house with a great garden and they gave us the option of paying less rent & taking care of the garden ourselves. It was relaxing, and we made free apple pies.

So more bats, dragonflies and frogs lol

Oh no, not bats. They’d all get eaten 👀

@@youngz13o There needs to be an environment that's conducive to those creatures. But many things feed on mosquitoes. But in truth, wherever there's water (nature) there will be mosquitoes. But infestations can be managed through balance.

And the fact that all units are sold out but only a handful families moved in... need humans to clean that place..

well this got quite widely read after all hehe. of course what you’re saying is true. but also don’t you think the city should be the city and create a city-centric natural habitat? you know, keep doing what always worked; hardy trees, birds, mammals that thrive in the city environment etc.. I think the water and wet features should be on ground level where frogs can reach. vertical is inherently problematic because it doesn’t mimic much in non-human nature. I mean expect for pigeons? what big animal likes a tower? Even the pigeons only go to the fifth floor.

Easy to say just off your google search. I have 2 different mosquito repellant plants and dragonflies in my garden yet mosquitoes find their way somehow.

@@Ali-hayder are the plants only effective in a certain area? Like do u need more than a few plants to effectively ward off mosquitos in different places in the house or is that just not how it works

I got at least 50 citronella bushes around my house. It is not as effective as you think.

Google is banned In China 🤡

Not having stagnant water is more important. Mind you, tropical mosquitoes are something not to be taken so trivially.

lol

Yes. Trees are made with logs and leaves not plastic and cement.

I think they planned for people to move in and tend to the plants but didn’t expect only a handful of people to move in despite all 826 apartments being sold out

True, the garden by the bay in Singapore requires an army of PhD experts to tend them. It's a very noble goal, but the path to it is not so simple.

i hope the plants win....

Plant live matter

People buying houses and not moving because of them planning to make money off of real estate is common in China

Not really. It is just the plant they choose to grow. A lot of plant that will flee the mosquitos.

@@luciana-hs8cg agree. They could grew some lavender lemon grass mint or any bug repellent plants. There lot of them

Also if you've ever lived in any chinese apartment complex (or city, for that matter) you will know they usually have poor drainage design. Lots of small stagnant water puddles, perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. You can see from the video the complex is designed to be ridiculously flat everywhere.

I guess that's what you get when you destroy real jungles to build fake ones made out of concrete.

@@miriammeenattoor2952 China is absolutely notorious for theft of intellectual property around the globe and rebranding it as their own. They also have a notorious problem of cutting corners in just about every type of job sector to save a buck, and with that said, they seem to just build massive, publicity-attracting properties that have absolutely no thought process behind them besides money, like how many super malls have they built that NEVER had the size crowd they were built for & are now already either torn down, abandoned, or turned into something else? Ridiculous. Most people outside of China knew that would happen at the rate they were building them back then. Now with the cutting corners, you see that in the job-related death rate of construction workers and the number of designer drugs we can STILL purchase from them online. Most of the "off brand" technology that they release in mainland China is indeed a prime example of their notoriety for stealing intellectual property from other countries and claiming it as theirs in their own country, which makes them A LOT of money while keeping it all just within their borders and away from potential controversy. Their amusement parks & rides are also one of the main examples that come to mind that fits EVERY issue I listed.

Yes, looks like the plants are being watered or they'd have dried up and died. So owners are paying for watering of plants in the empty apartments.
