Pandanus. Screw Pine 
Among the foliage plants for home decoration and 
especially for use for fern-pans and table ornaments, 
none are more desirable than Pandanus. They are 
easily managed and thrive best in a soil composed partly 
of good loam and old cow manure. Water freely during 
summer, but keep plants moderately moist only during 
winter, as too much water at that season, and when 
Kentia 
PANDANUS, continued 
plants are dormant, will cause them to decay. They 
should be kept under high temperature during winter.
