The story
Thin arching leaves edged in red, held on slim woody stems that curve as they grow. It takes up almost no floor area for its height, which makes it genuinely useful in a narrow hallway or beside a desk.
It is one of the more drought-tolerant tall plants available, and it does not mind the dry air of an air-conditioned office. Sensitive to fluoride in tap water, which shows as brown leaf tips — worth knowing before you assume you have a humidity problem.
How to care for it
Medium indirect light; tolerates lower, grows slower. Let the top half of the substrate dry out. Use filtered or standing water where possible. Brown tips are normal on older leaves; trim following the leaf shape. Feed twice in the growing season, no more.
Common questions
Are your plants grown locally or imported?
Our plants are grown on and acclimatised locally before they are sold, which is the step that prevents the leaf drop people often see after buying a plant that has just been shipped. Where a specimen was originally sourced from abroad we will tell you if you ask.
What soil do you use?
The same mix for every plant we pot: coco peat for moisture retention, perlite and volcanic rock for air pockets and drainage, and composted bark for structure. The success of a plant starts from the correct substrate — it is the most common reason indoor plants fail. We sell the same mix if you want to repot yourself.
Which of your plants are safe for cats and dogs?
Kentia palm, Calathea orbifolia, Echeveria and Boston fern are not known to be toxic. Monstera, pothos, philodendron, ZZ plant, snake plant, peace lily, and the ficus species are toxic if chewed. Every product page states this explicitly, and where the evidence is genuinely unclear we mark it as unconfirmed rather than guessing.
