A bold architectural statement piece that transforms any room into a tropical oasis. Growing to Large (>100cm), this plant commands attention and becomes a living focal point. In its native habitat, it would reach toward the forest canopy, and that same dramatic presence translates beautifully indoors. Perfect for empty corners, beside large furniture, or as an entryway showstopper. Symbolizing love-connection, it makes a powerful design statement.
