‘Sword Dance’ is a staghorn fern, aptly named for its strappy, elongated fronds that are akin the blades of a sword. Swaying together, these fronds are embellished with tiny scale-like hairs that give a silvery, felted appearance and help ‘Sword Dance’ absorb nutrients and retain moisture. That said, avoid using leaf shine products or wiping away this layer of fuzz. In nature, staghorn ferns typically grow as epiphytes on the surface of other plants, such as clinging to the crook of a tree. Consequently, they don’t require much soil fertility, can thrive in diffuse or indirect sunlight, and prefer to dry out completely in between watering. ‘Sword Dance’ is a more compact, bushy staghorn for any plant lover hoping to incorporate a touch of pre-historic intrigue into their home.
‘Danielle’ is another Ficus benjamina in our Cling-On collection, that has been bred to have leaves that resist dropping; they literally cling to this ficus. ‘Danielle’ can be grown as a small tree, or as an elegant multi-stemmed plant with a bushy habit. She has slender, arching branches that hold gorgeous, dark green leaves. In order to keep your ‘Danielle’ looking her best, she needs to be given plenty of bright light, such as can be found in an east- or west-facing window. A southern exposure would also be ideal.>/p>
Chandelier ‘Celebrate’ or Ficus microcarpa, is a delightful houseplant that could grow into a small tree in years. It has an upright, tree-like demeanor, with stems that turn woody over time, and support oblong oval leaves of medium green. These leaves, smooth and shiny, bear a warm gentle glow, especially when they’re newly emerging. Midribs are distinctly light in color. ‘Celebrate’ is a botanical masterpiece, in and of itself, but like other Ficus microcarpa, it would make an excellent specimen for sculpting in the ancient art of bonsai.
‘Samantha’ is another Ficus benjamina in our Cling-On collection, that has been bred to have leaves that resist dropping; they literally cling to this ficus. ‘Samantha’ grows in an elegant multi-stemmed, bushy habit. She has slender, arching branches that hold glossy, bright green leaves, edged in creamy variegation. In order to keep your ‘Samantha’ showing her most prominent variegation, she needs to be given plenty of bright light, such as can be found in a west- or south-facing window.
