Pandanus
Pandanus, also known as Pandan or Screw Pine, is a tropical plant celebrated for its unique, architectural form and vibrant foliage. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, it features long, narrow leaves arranged in a spiral pattern around the stem, creating a striking appearance. Pandanus is versatile and can be used in both landscape and indoor settings. It thrives in well-draining soil and prefers bright, indirect light, though it can tolerate some direct sunlight. Regular watering is essential, particularly in dry conditions. While some species produce small, pineapple-like fruits, Pandanus is often grown for its ornamental value. In many tropical areas, its leaves are also used in cooking to impart a distinctive flavor to dishes and beverages. Its aesthetic appeal and adaptability make it a popular choice for adding a touch of exotic elegance to gardens and interiors.
