Dracaena marginata ‘Tricolor’ (Rainbow Tree, Variegated Madagascar Dragon-Tree, Red-margined/Red-edged Dracaena)

Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Golden Hahnii’ does flower after all!

Aglaonema (Chinese Evergreen)
Without doubt, foliage plants are as treasured as flowering plants in our tropical garden. More so if they have variegated leaves and air-purifying properties!

Rhapis excelsa (Lady Palm) -
Another impressive palm that adds a touch of elegance to our tropical paradise.
We love that it is not only strikingly attractive, but relatively small and slow-growing, just perfect to be grown in containers to suit our small garden which is mostly paved.
Furthermore, Rhapis excelsa is included in the list of air-cleaning [...]

Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Siver Hahnii’ (Silver Birdnest Sansevieria) -
A very elegant birdnest cultivar of S. trifasciata that is perfect as a potted houseplant or grown outdoors as groundcover.
