Department: Plant Centre
Today I worked with the Indoor Blue Team again, I helped move some display shelves, then did a few houseplant displays with old and new stock, following the themes that I have mentioned previously of plants that would be good for different parts of the house - this is quite subjective though as it obviously depends on what type of house people have.
Plants for the hallway includes
Aspidistra elatior - the invincible 'Cast Iron' that put up with the industrial smog of Victorian times
, Schleffera arboricola - a variegated one (probably 'Gold Capella') and a plain one,
Sanseveria, Fatsia, Hedera and
Spathiphyllum wallisii:

A variation of the same theme with
Fatsia japonica in the middle rather than a giant
Spathiphyllum.

Plants for the Conservatory on the other side of the stand (warm one - around 16°C) consists mainly of
Calathea sp. and
Phoenix roebelenii (from Yunnan):

Ficus,
