About the Plant:
-
Native to Queensland, Australia, these trees are renowned for their swollen water-storing trunk (caudex) and elegant branching habit.
-
They thrive in bright sunlight and adapt well to both indoor and outdoor settings in suitable climates.
-
Over time, the caudex naturally swells and tapers, creating a dramatic, sculptural silhouette.
Care Instructions:
-
Light: Full sun to partial shade.
-
Watering: Allow soil to dry between waterings; moderate watering encourages caudex development.
-
Potting: Well-draining soil is essential. Our plants are repotted and ready for display, with roots carefully managed to enhance trunk shape.
-
Maintenance: Minimal pruning needed; remove dead or overcrowded branches as desired to maintain shape.
Each tree is a unique creation, meticulously prepared by hand to highlight its natural form and personality.
