- Four botanical gardens showcase distinct wet and dry ecosystems through an immersive Mini Ecoregion exhibit at FLOII Expo 2026.
- The display combines plant conservation, education and public engagement to highlight Indonesia’s botanical diversity.
RRI.CO.ID, Bogor - Indonesia’s diverse botanical landscapes are on full display at the Floriculture Indonesia International (FLOII) Expo 2026, held from September 17 to 20 at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) BSD in Tangerang, Banten. Through an immersive Mini Ecoregion exhibit, operator PT Mitra Natura Raya is introducing visitors to four distinct regional ecosystems represented by the Bogor, Cibodas (West Java), Bali, and Purwodadi Botanical Gardens (East Java).
"We brought this Mini Ecoregion so the public can see firsthand that Indonesia possesses extraordinarily diverse plant life and ecological characteristics," said Managing Director of PT Mitra Natura Raya Marga Anggrianto, on Thursday, September 17, as quoted by Antara.
The exhibition carefully replicates four specific climate zones. Bogor Botanical Garden represents wet lowlands featuring warm, shaded environments dominated by Araceae plants, while Cibodas Botanical Garden recreates cool, misty wet highlands anchored by mosses and bryophytes.
Meanwhile, Bali Botanical Garden showcases dry highland ecosystems highlighted by the varied forms and colors of Begonia species, and Purwodadi Botanical Garden depicts dry lowlands using natural wood, sedimentary stone elements, and epiphytic Hoya plants.
Managed under the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), the gardens operate at the expo under the theme From Collection to Connection, aiming to shift how the public views plant conservation.
"In a botanical garden, every plant has a story, scientific value, and an essential role in the ecosystem," Marga said.
Beyond the Mini Ecoregion display, the booth features educational workshops, botanical journaling sessions, and a plant market designed to build public engagement with Indonesia's native biodiversity. ***
