Tropical Plants For Dry Shade
Asplenium bulbiferum (Hen And Chicken Fern)
Asplenium bulbiferum, commonly known as the Hen and Chicken Fern or Pikopiko Fern, is a popular NZ native prized for its lush, arching fronds and ability to produce baby ferns (plantlets) along the leaf edges. Ideal for shaded gardens, underplanting, or pots, it thrives in moist, well-drained soil with protection from direct sun and wind. This fern adds a soft, tropical feel to any space and is low-maintenance, making it a favourite for both indoor and outdoor use.
Beaucarnea recurvata (Ponytail Palm)
Beaucarnea recurvata, commonly known as the Ponytail Palm, is an attractive, small palm that is often grown as a potted plant. It features a trunk which has a prominent, swollen base and long, narrow, dark green leaves which are often curly. The foliage emerges as a plume, almost like a fountain of water. It can reach 3 m tall and 2 m wide but usually grows a lot smaller in a pot. Beaucarnea recurvata is frequently grown as a potted plant, added to tropical plantings, grown in large planters, or added to a mixed planting in frost-free locations.
