Plant for office 室內植物種類

1. ZZ Plant ( Zamioculcas zamifolia ) 金錢樹


Each of the branches coming from the compost is actually a leaf and the ' leaves' are leaflets coming of them. An easy and very impressive plant for a semi shady room.

2.Dracaena 馬尾鐵


Regarded highly as a garden plant in warmer climates. This Dracaena is a stunning houseplant with wide brightly marked leaves and thick woody stems. It will tolerate lower light levels but the yellow band will become greener with time.

3. Ficus Lyrata - fiddle Leaf fig 琴葉榕


Large strangely shaped glossy leaves (hence the name!) grow in a whorl up the long straight stem of this shapely fig. Branches will grow from the leaf bases in time creating a wonderfully exotic specimen.

4. Pachira aquatica 發財樹(扭桿)


Another rarity in the houseplant world, Pachira is a slightly bizarre plant that is generally sold as three or more stems that have been plaited together to form a single trunk. Out of this trunk grows large leaves composed of 6-9 leaflets. A great conversation point as a specimen plant.
