The cane structure is what makes it useful: it gives vertical height and a clean stem line in spaces too dim or too enclosed for a real tree. In Australia it is used as an indoor specimen almost everywhere, and as a genuine garden plant only in frost free coastal and tropical districts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Happy Plant\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCane architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e: Multiple canes of staggered height give an instant layered form rather than a single leafy blob.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow light tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: It holds condition in bright interiors well back from a window, where most feature plants thin out.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater thrift\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thick stems store moisture, so it forgives a missed watering far better than a ficus or palm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNight fragrance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mature plants occasionally throw dense creamy flower heads that are powerfully scented after dark.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRenewable\u003c\/strong\u003e: A cane that grows too tall can be cut back and will reshoot below the cut, resetting the whole plant.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndoor feature\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single large pot fills a stairwell, entry or living room corner with height and no floor spread.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaded courtyard\u003c\/strong\u003e: In warm frost free gardens it thrives against a south facing wall where sun-loving plants sulk.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTropical understorey\u003c\/strong\u003e: Planted in groups beneath established canopy it adds a bright vertical accent at eye level.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial interiors\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lobbies and offices suit it because it copes with air conditioning and low natural light.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 to 1.2m in frost free garden beds\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 to 2m, or a single container specimen\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring and summer outdoors in warm districts; any time indoors\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open, free draining potting mix or friable garden loam enriched with compost.
