Description

Ctenanthe setosa

This variety of Ctenanthe has grey and green striped leaves with a striking purplish underside. (Sometimes, fluffy or fury underneath) Ctenanthe are ground cover plants from the tropical forests of Brazil so they thrive in a warm position with medium filtered to soft light. If the leaves appear to be fading or losing their patterning and colour you may have them in too bright a position. Keep them away from heating/cooling units as they are very sensitive to cold or hot drafts and sudden temperature changes. Mature growth: 1x1m. 10"/25cm pot

Brachychiton acerifolius 

The Illawarra Flame Tree is known for its stunning display of bright red flowers that cover the whole bare tree in late Spring. While it's an Aussie native, it is now grown all over the world for its beauty.

The Illawarra Flame Tree is only fully deciduous in the northern parts of Australia, where it drops its leaves in the dry season. Plant Flame Trees with Jacarandas for a colour explosion.
