Odontonema strictum - Fire Cracker Plants established in pots
$10
Odontonema strictum or Firecracker Plant is endemic to South America. It grows to a height of two metres or half that if it grown in a container. The waxy bright red flowers flowers grow in twelve inch spikes and look like "sqib" fire crackers. They attract butterflies when they bloom in the autumn. Leaves are lush green, & glossy when young. They thrive in Adelaide and grow in shaded areas where many other plants don't thrive but can take morning sum. Not generally bothered by pests. My plants are from $5 (approx 30 cms) to $10 (approx 80 cms) each depending on size.
Growth habit : Multi-branched plant, straight from the ground. Produces long slender branches if exposed to too little sun. Prune the plant back when the growth is too tall, causing it to fall open. Moderately fast growing.
Watering requirements : Moderate watering.
I have a range of other moderately priced plants also priced from $5.
If interested contact John.
