Rooftop garden basics in Bangladesh

Ask a structural engineer what the slab can carry before you order soil. Waterproofing failures are more expensive than any plant list.

Use pots and planters you can move. Keep drainage clear. Choose plants that take sun and wind — plumeria, bougainvillea, compact shrubs — and keep large trees as a professional conversation, not a weekend impulse.

Irrigation on a rooftop is not optional if the household travels. A hose left to a caretaker without a plan is how gardens die in June.
