ReplyDeletehi laili, usually people in kampung used this plant to make borders for their house replacing gates or fences. They usually plant pokok teh belanda together with daun semangkuk. You can even make them as ulam dipped in sambal belacan :)
ReplyDeleteHowever, they are not easy to come by these days.
