    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A great foliage plant that brings feathery greenery to a home's interior. Simply give this strong grower moderate light, even moisture and minimal fertilizer and you will have a constant green companion. Don't over pot, this will keep its roots healthy and in time a trunk will form. Give this Fiji native an east, west or north exposure so it will have either morning or afternoon sun.
