Landscaping plays an important role in enhancing the aesthetic appeal, environmental quality, and visitor experience in a shopping mall. Plants used in landscaping not only beautify the surroundings but also contribute to a pleasant atmosphere, improve air quality, reduce heat, and create a relaxing environment for shoppers. The selection of plants for landscaping in a shopping mall must therefore be carried out carefully and systematically. Proper planning and evaluation are necessary to ensure that the selected plants are suitable for the location, climate, maintenance capacity, and design objectives of the mall. The first step in the procedure of selecting plants for landscaping in a shopping mall is understanding the purpose and theme of the landscape design. Landscaping may aim to create a welcoming entrance, provide shade and comfort in outdoor areas, enhance the aesthetic appearance, or create indoor green spaces. Some malls prefer a modern and minimalistic design with simple plant arrangements, while others may choose lush greenery to create a natural environment. The purpose of the landscape determines the types of plants that will be selected. The second step involves studying the climatic conditions of the area where the shopping mall is located. Climate greatly influences the survival and growth of plants. Factors such as temperature, rainfall, humidity, and sunlight availability must be carefully analyzed. In regions with hot climates, heat-tolerant and drought-resistant plants are preferred. In areas with high rainfall, plants that can tolerate moisture and humidity are more suitable. Understanding the climate helps in choosing plants that can thrive without excessive maintenance or risk of damage. Another important procedure is analyzing the soil conditions. Soil characteristics such as texture, fertility, drainage capacity, and pH level affect plant growth. Before selecting plants, soil testing should be conducted to determine its suitability for different types of vegetation. If the soil quality is poor, soil improvement techniques such as adding organic matter, fertilizers, or drainage systems may be necessary. Selecting plants that match the existing soil conditions reduces maintenance costs and ensures healthy plant growth. The availability of sunlight and shade is another critical factor in the selection process. Different plants require different levels of light for growth. Some plants thrive in full sunlight, while others prefer partial shade or complete shade. In shopping malls, landscaping may include both outdoor and indoor areas. Outdoor spaces such as parking areas, walkways, and entrance zones usually receive abundant sunlight and therefore require sun-loving plants. Indoor areas such as atriums, corridors, and lobbies require shade-tolerant or low-light plants that can survive under artificial lighting. Space availability
