Other Silk Plants
Out There are More to Be Discovered
Take, for instance, the good ol' ficus, oak or maple. There's the location-oriented ferns and plants: Australian fern, Boston fern, Jungle twig and Chinese fountain. And there are names that might seem familiar, but you might not have known there was such as palm, like sugar, date, bottle, lady, king, and oil.

Have You Ever Heard of These? Try a fishtail palm on for size, or maybe a dwarf is right up your alley. How about golden cane or fishtail? Or perhaps you'd prefer a species that starts with the letter "R," such as a raphis, robellini or royal palm. Some have more interesting names like taro, kentia, dracanea and monstera. And oftentimes, besides the tree or plant itself, you'll find many of these palms to have variations such as just the branch or leaf, as seen in the coco branch and philodendron leaf. Different but the Same All these other types of silk palm trees may be different in species, but a few things generally remain the same. One thing's for sure, you'll usually find a variety of sizes. Palms can be 2 feet or shorter, 3 - 5 feet tall, 6 - 8 feet tall, or 8 feet or taller. Another thing is that most manufacturers recommend indoor use over outdoor to preserve the plant and its original beauty. But no matter what type or size silk palm tree you choose, you're sure to easily enhance the appearance of your room. |
