We all have our problems when it comes to plant care indoors, hut in future when your rubber plant decides to shed a leaf.
Sometimes a plant is required for a special display point, a corner of a hall or living room which demands one dominant feature.
Some of the majestic screw pines have beautiful saw-edged yellow leaves and may attain a height of 8 to 12 ft. when roots are confined to a plant pot, or large tub. Tightly overlapping leaves radiate in all directions and may give the really super plant a diameter in the region of 12 ft. Tight, warm conditions are needed and, because of the saw-edged leaves, a position away from the general stream of humanity that may be passing. Alas, plants are in acutely short supply and take many, many years to .reach maturity, so it may be a little unfair.
Trained to wires suspended from the ceiling of the garden room they will be quite effective and are very easy to care for. Once established, vines will make rapid growth and will require periodic trimming back during the growing season. In winter they should be cut back to two eyes from the main stem.
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.
