This farm has some plants grown in emersed form. Others in submerged form. Emersed is ideal for transporting, if you won't have problems with customs (e.g. with soil, etc) where you are going to bring the plants to.

Bring names (or photos) of the plants you want. They are a very helpful bunch and the boss knows the plants by scientific and common English names. His workers only know the local Chinese names.

The bad news is... this place is quite out of the way. Getting in with a cab is not so bad. Getting a cab to come get you out will be very tricky.

When are you coming down? Maybe a member might volunteer to bring you about. Or even organise an outing to coincide with your trip.

Another option, if you have a list of plants, is to have someone order the plants for you from one of the conveniently located shops. I think they will need a weeks notice.

nanyang at seletar jalan kayu

[silentmorning]

I have been there, found that Nanyang plants variety not much and is not in my budget :P...plant farm more value for $ and they have lots of variety ...but one thing, transportation is a problem as those farm not very easy accessible by public transport.

Where exactly is Capricon ah peh plant farm. Can't locate it on streetdirectory with the address posted here
33 pasir ris farm way 2 s510000

[Corga]

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that they are situated together with Iwarna ( Marine Aquarium ). So just look for the Iwarna sign and head in. You should see a sign saying that there are aquatic plants for sale.

[bernie]

Yes that place beside the marine shop sells plants but has limited variety. There's no signboard that said its the Capricorn either.

Clementi blk 328.i do hang around there. nice array of plants

[sherwin]

I have passed by the farms in pasir ris. its quite remote and scary at night ( i usually cycle around that area early morning) do they sell in smaller quantities?

[shawnc9]

Also a thing to note for Clementi Blk 328 is the plants come in on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays evening. But the storekeeper mentioned she cannot confirm what stocks will come in.

I actually think that place stocks a good variety of plants. And the pricing is reasonable too.
It took me quite a while to find it the first time though. Yes it is in the Iwarna block.

[sp1der]

maybe you want to state what kind of plant / equipment you are looking for ? for myself i like to go clementi @ C328 or Yishun Y618

[Numbskull]

Y618 for me too. You can order a few days in advance as well.

Hi silentmorning, able to give some directions or any prominent marking around or get to Capricorn? I went round and round just now but just can not find the place, can only find No 34 & 35. Tried using GPS but the postal code given is not correct.
