Rhapis excelsa
This is a lovely clumping palm which is also very popular around the world. Large, thick, fan like leaves with blunt tips sit on top of thin trunks that form in a dense clump, giving the plant a nice thick appearance. These thin trunks are covered in a coarse, dark brown fibre which contrasts beautifully with the dark green foliage.
Palms are an extremely versatile group of plants, mostly originating throughout the tropical regions of the world, they can easily add a decorative or architectural element to an indoor space. They can create a lush tropical look with their evergreen feathery foliage.
Palms can help create a tropical or substantially relaxed atmosphere where needed. They are commonly used in both residential and commercial applications, in entrance-ways, foyers and common areas. Used as a feature or focal point in free standing pots. They can also be grouped together in troughs to create a privacy screen.

Epipremnum aureum
It’s an attractive climbing evergreen vine that’s endemic to the warmer and more humid parts of the world such as Asia, Northern Australia and the Pacific. The plants climb and adhere to surfaces using aerial roots, however for indoor use, can be grown on totems or used in pots to give a cascading appearance. It’s usually selected for its variegated light green foliage.
Yucca elephantipes
Widely grown for their striking architectural appearance and tolerance to a range of conditions in many gardens and pots, these tough plants are native to Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
With rosettes of leathery, evergreen, sword-shaped leaves and notable grey markings on the trunk, which look like elephant skin ( or noted for the thick, branching trunk which is reminiscent of an elephant’s foot at the base), these plants are a sure way to add a dramatic accent to any indoor or outdoor space.
Jade plant
Crassulas are succulent type plants that vary greatly in size, shape and colour. They are native to many parts of the globe, but common varieties we use in landscaping are native to South Africa. Crassulas have fleshy, shiny, plump, spoon shaped leaves (some varieties have twisted or curled leaves) that are usually short, stemless and are often closely spaced. Some leaves are even tinged in crimson, reflecting different weather conditions. They have tree-like woody branches that are thick and fleshy to hold the heavy leaves.
