About

This striking tropical plant is celebrated for its large, deeply lobed, glossy green leaves that can reach impressive sizes. It gradually develops a sturdy, trunk-like stem, creating an imposing architectural presence in any setting.

Where it works in Kilifi

Thrives in partial shade to bright indirect light, preferring rich, well-draining soil. Ideal as a specimen plant or for creating a lush, tropical feel in larger garden spaces, requiring ample room to spread its magnificent foliage.

Growing notes

A moderately fast grower, it requires regular watering when young but is quite drought-tolerant once established. Protect from direct, intense sun and be aware its sap can be a mild irritant.
