Norfolk Pine

A great medium-sized tree having somewhat of a Northwest look together with a tropical feel.  The branches have a very "soft" look to them. Check out this nice sized specimen ready to make a statement in your home.

Kentia Palms

Nice specimen house plants: These are 4 to 6 stems per 14" pot with fronds reaching 7 to 8 feet in height. Kentia Palms are probably the best suited palm for the Pacific Northwest due to its ability to handle the lower light levels many of us have in the winter time as well as our lack of humidity indoors in the winter. Their easy care and watering requirements make them a good plant for those wanting a larger specimen plant for their living or working environment. 

Succulents: Cactus and Eschevaria

Cactus, eschevaria and many other succulents make great plants for a sunny window, a terrarium or even for your garden as the weather warms up.  These are too cool and many are in bloom right now.  All are priced less than $10.

Ficus Tineke (Variegated Rubber Tree) shown with other tropical house plants at Magnolia Garden Center.  Rubber trees are among the easiest of house plants to grow.  They can go for many days between waterings with no ill effects.  They benefit from bright light but do not usually like to be grown in the direct sunlight.

   Split-leaf Philodendron (Monstera deliciousa)  Also called Mexican Breadfruit, these houseplants thrive in higher humidity and lower light levels than most.  The younger leaves are solid without the splits or holes.  The older leaves can grow to almost a yard in length.  As the plants get bigger they also grow aerial roots which can be an attractive addition.  We usually carry both young plants in 6" or 8" pots as well as older, more mature plants with much larger leaves.

Alocasia nigra  (Black Elephant Ears) (shown here with a banana on the left and a rubber tree on the right) are grown from large potato shaped tubers.  These plants and similar to the Alocasia grown in Hawaii from which the taro root is cultivated to make poi.  As a houseplant, these can be spectacular and easily grow to over 5' tall.  The black stems are smooth and shiny complementing the oversized leaves.  They like water and can be grown in a small water feature.  They can also be grown outside in the summer but must be brought inside for the winter in our climate.

   Tropical House Plants

We carry a wide variety of tropical plants for decorating your home.  Whether it's an African Violet for a small table or window sill or a large Palm for that sun room you'll find lots of tropical house plant choices at Magnolia Garden Center.  Tropical plants offer a relaxing natural atmosphere with the added benefit of cleaner air.  We also offer several varieties of orchids with incredible blooms.  You can usually find Phaleanopsis, as well as cymbidiums and occasionally other types gracing the garden center, the green house or the gift shop. 

Sansaveria cylindrica An unusual version of the common snake plant.  These are great plants for low light locations and they need little water.  Very easy to grow! A modern looking plant for a contemporary home.

Orchids  

We normally stock several varieties of easy to care for orchids to give you flowers that last for many weeks.  Stop by to enjoy their beauty or take one home.  We can even plant them into your favorite container for you.
