When well grown there can be few more elegant specimen plants. Green, seven- to nine-fingered leaves are carried on 2-ft. long petioles attached to a stout central stem. When confined to large pots they will attain a height of some 20 ft. in time.
Sometimes a plant is required for a special display point, a corner of a hall or living room which demands one dominant feature.
Having a vine in the plant room is quite a possibility and will provide cool shade for other plants besides a crop of grapes. The best way to treat vines in a small room of the sort we have in mind is to plant them outside the building and to train the stern of the plant through a hole in the wall.
Known to everyone, the monsteras have stood the test of time and arc still very much in demand as individual specimen plants. Close inspection of really mature monstera leaves suggests that Mother Nature was in particularly form when she created them.
Deeply serrated along both sides, mature leaves are also perforated perforations which begin at the midrib and gradually reduce in size as they fan out from the centre of the leaf. These are grand plants to have and not difficult to manage in warm, moist and shaded conditions. They do infinitely better if the aerial roots are allowed a free run in a bed of peat standing plants in a large container filled with peat can make this possible.
The symmetrical foliage of Scheffiera actinophylla can be viewed equally well from any side, a valuable attribute for a specimen plant. The pandanus, or screw pine, requires plenty of room for its graceful, overlapping leaves.
