Also known as “Illawarra Plum,” this plant has unique needle-like leaves and produces edible purple fruit. It’s an exotic addition to any garden.
All quite beautiful but how do you care for them inside a typical home environment? Where can they be acquired and how much do they cost I’m particularly interested in the Bird of Paradise, Plumeria, Water Lilies, Plum Pine, Canna and Ginger Lily.
I live in the sub tropics in Australia. I have most of these plants outside in my garden. They thrive on heat and humidity and summer rain. In summer it’s 30 to 40 degrees centigrade. (86 to 104 F). My winter is considered cold when it’s below 10 C (50F). I never have frost.
Awesome!
