Indoor Foliage

Range

Marlborough Nursery specialise in a wide range of Indoor Foliage varieties:

Epipremnum, Scindapsus & Syngonium

Epipremnum is a genus of perennial flowering plants from the family Araceae. The plants are grown for their stunning range of foliage colour. They are woody vines growing to heights of 40 plus meters in trees. They have leaves that change shape according to their stage of growth, and adult leaf forms are often much more lobed than the juvenile forms usually seen on small house plants.

Scindapsus is a genus of perennial flowering plants from the family Araceae. The plants are grown for their stunning range of foliage colour. It is native to Southeast Asia, New Guinea & Queensland.

Syngonium is a genus of perennial flowering plants from the family Araceae. The flowers are inconspicuous, but the plants are grown for their stunning range of foliage colour. They are woody vines growing to heights of 10 plus meters in trees. They have leaves that change shape according to their stage of growth, and adult leaf forms are often much more lobed than the juvenile forms usually seen on small house plants


Placement

All 3 varieties need good light inside to flourish. Once inside the watering period must be reduced so the plants are kept on the dryer side.  They will all grow as a totem plant.They can also be used in tropical and subtropical gardens in sheltered positions.

Did you know the US Environmental Agency currently ranks indoor air pollution as one of the top threats to public health? Indoor houseplants safely, naturally, and effectively clean the air you breathe through their natural cycle of air around them.

Plant Care

All 3 varieties prefer bright light and most will tolerate direct sunlight once acclimatised. Water sparingly and avoid keeping the potting mix wet but do not let dry out. Ficus prefer reasonable humidity. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the summer months and ensure a good quality peat-based mix is used when repotting. Tolerant to most diseases but can be affected by aphids, scale, and mites. Should you need to clean off the leaves, use a moist paper towel with nothing more than water.
