While people are talking about how these apartments have a problem with mosquitos that's caused by the plants, it should be noted that any time anyone does something new and cool there's going to be some kind of unforeseen problem that needs to be overcome. I don't think it's very likely that China will just let these apartments remain empty, but will instead try to figure something out (though they may end up deciding that the cheapest solution is to just torch all of the plants).
That's not even a real problem either, it's only like that because it's barely occupied yet, when it's full then residents will be there to take care of standing water, meanwhile in the US they have to crop dust suburbs with pesticides after it rains too much

The easiest way to deal with mosquitos is to cultivate a population of natural predators, like song birds
