Floria Putrajaya 2022

Great news for horticulture fans: Floria Putrajaya 2022, also known as Floria DiRaja Putrajaya 2022, is back this year after a two-year hiatus from the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is the one show you should attend in Malaysia for those who have been overnight gardens or plant lovers because of the COVID-19 lockdowns.

Floria Putrajaya 2022

This major flower and garden exhibition is now known as Royal Floria 2022. It is a yearly event in the heart of Putrajaya that lasts almost a week and has the theme Floria Hebat, or Fantastic Floria.

The official flower for this year’s festival is the internationally and locally loved Orchid, which visitors will see all over the event.

It also takes place during Merdeka, or Malaysia Independence Week, which falls at the end of August. This year’s Royal Floria 2022 is from 29 August to 4 September.

As a plant and garden lover for over 30 years, I never miss this horticulture event, which is held annually. The entire event revolves around flowers, plants, and gardens, so if you are a fan, it is worth exploring.

Flower lovers can expect favourites such as Bonsai, Bromeliad, Chrysanthemum, Hibiscus, Heliconia, Rose, Bougainvillea, Begonia, and Lilies.

The organisers expect a minimum of 500,000 visitors to this year’s Floria DiRaja Putrajaya 2022. Over 400,000 flowers and plants, including 10,000 orchids, will be on display.

Additional Information

For the record, I also run a hobbyist Malaysia Plants website and blog, focusing mainly on some of the rare jungle ferns and plants. But it could be more active than I would like it to be.

The Penang Floral Festival started in 2015, but I never explored this northern horticulture event.
