Plants add a personal touch that’s lively and refreshing – something that still objects cannot emulate. 988 FM DJ KK Wong recommends Konzept Garden’s hydroponic plants as they are completely easy to care for.

Sleek, simple yet stylish, 988 FM DJ KK Wong’s home exudes a very personal ambience that’s contemporary to the core. KK has been very hands-on during the entire process of doing up his one-bedroom apartment. From selecting the perfect materials and fittings to deciding how the smallest details would look like, KK banks on his good eye for design to create a home he loves.
On first impression, the simplicity of the clean layout would draw you in to explore further, and once you do, every art piece and hand-picked accessories are noticeably put together in a cohesive way. In the living room, clean lines are complemented by striking red accents to create a vibrant touch against the all-white palette. But that’s not all. “The thing with very white interiors is that they may end up feeling flat,” KK says. “This is why I need to put in something fresh and green to enliven my spaces. I have gone for hydroponic houseplants from Konzept Garden because they are easy to care for.”
Easy maintenance is one of the key benefits of Konzept Garden’s hydroponic plants. Available as desktop plants as well as hydro planters, these self-watering plants come with extraordinary pots that accommodate a unique hydroculture system. We talk to Marketing Director of Konzept Garden Eric Hong to learn more about the plants. “For our desktop plants, Konzept Garden has a strong research team in developing a special formula and the fertiliser X1 Green (nutrient solution) to help the plants to thrive,” explains Eric. “This means the plants can be grown without soil which contributes to its easy maintenance feature. We also have over 38 different types of plants to choose from.”
KK is definitely pleased with the quality and variations of the hydroponic plants as he has over ten different types of desktop plants placed around his living room, dining, kitchen and even the bathroom. “They truly make a difference in my home. The environment feels fresher and more alive. And as I lack a green thumb – I have ‘killed’ too many plants because I travel a lot and hence have little time to care for them – these hydroponic plants are a blessing!” KK says with a smile.
“ Available as desktop plants as well as hydroplanters, Konzept Garden’s self watering plants offer unique benefits. ”
With the hydroponic system, it gives KK the confidence to expand his collection of desktop plants to larger ones. Once again, he opted for Konzept Garden’s ez-Care hydro planters for his balcony, front entrance and dining area. These plants come in special culture pots that promise easy maintenance.
“With our ez-Care hydro planters, you do not need to water them every day,” Eric explains further. “Once every two weeks is sufficient. This is because contained within the culture-pot is a water reservoir that provides watering over a larger period of time. As hydroculture also creates good nutrition for the plant, you do not need to constantly fertilize it,” says Eric. “Additionally the pot is shatterproof, UV-resistant and comes with integrated rain-over flow function for outdoor use.”
All these features truly meet KK’s requirements for a stylish but fuss-free plant collection. “For plant lovers who lack the time and talent for gardening like myself, I highly recommend Konzept Garden’s hydroponic plants,” says KK. “They work both outdoors and indoors, which give you plenty of flexibility to decorate your home with them.”
