SecretGarden of SeriPinang : Cliffhangers

The cliffhangers are super-determined plants that grow on the rubble wall.   The vertical wall of stone is never too harsh for them to colonized.   

Once the plants managed to grow on rubble wall, they should be immediately remove.  Else their root will grow deep into the cracks and hole on the wall.  When the plants grow, so do the roots.  The root will grow in size and eventually ply the hole/crack bigger, till one day when we least expected, the wall collapse.    

To get rid of them is inevitable, especially the Ficus species.

Getting rid of them can be by manual, but I’s a tedious job.  Chemical, as usual, is the best choice.  A broad spectrum herbicide should be sufficient to take care of the job.
