The look of my red ketum (kratom) plant today.

I received my red ketum (kratom) plant last 13 February 2019 [1]. But only have the time to retrieve from the office yesterday, 14 February 2019. It is actually called red type of ketum (kratom) due to the red veins on its green leaves.

Close up on the red ketum leaf. Can see the red veins on the back stem in red colour.

The look of the received red ketum package in good condition.

Muhyiddin said there is no control over the planting of ketum because it is not classified as a dangerous drug.
"There have been cases where Malaysia exports ketum to Thailand, where it is banned. Even Thailand realises that it should be banned," said Muhyiddin.
Ketum is a plant that is abundant in the northern states and has been used to as a painkiller as well as energy boosters.
Its abuse, however, can lead to addiction [2].

Till then, have fun in planting red ketum (kratom) plant at home.
