Dracaena braunii
This variety of Dracaena, native to tropical West Africa, is a small upright shrub growing to 1.5 m tall, with a slender stem and arching green leaves that taper out to a point. The leaves are widely spaced along the stem giving the plant an open, airy appearance.
Philodendron’s have some of the most beautiful, glossy foliage of any of the indoor plants. Large, thick, shiny green (and in philodendron Xanadu, heavily lobed) leaves are sturdy with an upright habit. Native to the tropical Americas, these lush looking plants can add a touch of the exotics to any interior setting.
Dracaena fragrans ‘massangeana’
A well-known and popular Indoor plant species. It does well in medium to low light conditions and its wide strappy leaves are long and arc gracefully from the stem. Dracaena’s generally come in single or multi headed canes and can make a wonderful free standing focal point.
The ‘Massangeana” variety is the most popular, due to its dramatic yellow variegation running down the centre of its leaves.
Ferns are some of the oldest plant species in the world and can grow in an astonishing array of environments. They are valued for their interesting foliage and varying frond types that range in appearance from delicate to dramatic. However, there are a couple of species that are more adaptable to the indoor environment-
Birds Nest Fern- Asplenium nidus
The attractive fronds on this species coil tightly in the centre prior to opening, resembling a nest. The fronds are spear like in shape and are often quite shiny with a wavy outer and brown mid rib running through the centre of the frond.
Boston Fern – Nephrolepis exaltata
The many arching fronds of this fern make it ideal for hanging baskets. It has a feathery appearance with small leaves covering a tough leaf stalk.
