An eye catching yellow and black print -esque Zebrena tropical plant with large leaves commonly associated to the shape of Elephants ears, hence is their nick name.  They add an immediate tropical buzz to your home.  Large variety.   Watering:  Requires a humid environment, regular misting and keeping soil fairly moist, once per week watering.  A hunmidifier is a good idea for a room if it's quite a dry environment.  A good sign of when this plant requires watering is they will be quite dramatic and droop their stems.  The plant requires water to keep the stems up.   Top tip on watering:  To avoid it getting over wet on the roots, water it from the top, let it drain out of the holes of teh pot then put  it back into your decorative pot.  Light:  West or East facing windows are good spots as this plant does not mind a bit of Sun but not direct Sun all day long to avoid the leaves scorching.   Origin:  Asia and Eastern Australia

About us

Our green adventures started back in 2009 when we moved into a garden flat in East London.  We renovated a Japanese and Italian water garden from it's overgrown past but with no prior garden experience we got stuck into the books and learned everything there was to know about pruning shrubs and planting.  After the first year tidying the space up we were asked by a friend to join The National Garden Scheme.  The scheme recognises gardens of quality and raises money for charity.  It was a scary prospect of opening the garden to the scrutiny of the public.  So we opened up for the first time and it was so exciting, we received some great positive feedback and some helpful tips from the seasoned gardeners!  Subsequently, we opened our garden every year.
