New! Liriope gigantum

liriope_in_frlower Liriope gigantum – Turf Lily

Liriope is a beautiful, evergreen grassy type ground cover. It bears gorgeous little purple flowers and grows to 50-70cm tall, and 50cm wide. The strappy leaves are dark green, glossy and narrow.

Liriope, or Turf Lily is very tough and adaptable. It thrives without care in almost any garden. It is well suited to growing in pots, as a ground cover or as a border around a garden. Liriope is also often used as a lawn substitute, it doesn’t require anywhere near as much water as the lawn does to look good! Liriope is best grown ‘en masse’, with a whole bunch planted all together for maximum effect.

Liriope is best grown in full sun to part shade. It prefers well draining soil and is highly drought tolerant. Once established, this plant does not require any maintenance or water. You can lift and divide Liriope clumps, and plant the divisions elsewhere to create additional plants.

New! Phoenix canariensis (Canary Island Date Palm)

Phoenix canariensis The King of Palms!

About the Canary Island Date Palm

This palm, surprisingly, originates in the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago just off the North West Coast of Africa. The Canary Island Date Palm is large & imposing, up to 20m tall. It provides a true feature in the garden with its huge, solid trunk, and long, arching feather leaves. Trunks are marked with old leaf scars. This palm bears yellow flowers, following by orange to dark red fruit with 1 large seed.

Phoenix canariensis would be great planted along streets or driveways, as a feature palm in the middle of a lawn, or even as a container palm while small. Although the fruit is edible, like other Date Palms, the size of the fruit is very small, making it hardly worth it.

Growing the Canary Island Date Palm

This palm is very hardy and is quite fast growing, especially once it starts forming a trunk. It gets large and will need to be given plenty of room. Petioles have spines on them, so keep these plants away from walkways. Choose a position in full sun, in well draining soil. The Canary Island Date Palm is frost tolerant to around -10 and also very drought tolerant. Fertilise with a slow release fertiliser in spring and summer. Mulch well, but keep mulch away from the trunk.

New! Garcinia magnostana (Mangosteen)

garcinia mangostana 1

About the Mangosteen fruit

The Mangosteen is the Queen of Tropical fruits! Beautiful, ornamental fruits are purple to red and smooth on the outside. The fruits taste delicious; sweet & tangy, and are described as being similar to peaches. It is often called a ‘super fruit’ due to the said antioxidants and anti-disease effects. Mangosteen Juice is one of the new, very popular health juices. The fruits can be made into jams, and seeds can be toasted.

About the Mangosteen Plant

The Mangosteen is an evergreen tree which grows between 6-20m tall. New growth emerges purplish to red. It is not only a wonderful edible tree, with delicious tropical fruits, it’s also used for medicinal purposes such as Dysentery, skin disorders and cystitis. Some countries also valued it for its wood.

Growing the Mangosteen Plant

Originating in Asia, the Mangosteen prefers high humidity, and would benefit from regular watering, especially during summer. This tree is a true tropical plant, and can only be grown in frost free conditions. It should be grown in very rich, organic soil, with some added sand. Ensure it has good drainage and mulch well. It cannot be grown too close to the coast as it will not tolerate strong winds, salt spray or salty water.

Garcinia mangostana will grow a taproot almost immediately, and you should plant it in its final position before it gets to around 1/2m tall. After this, you may damage the taproot, damaging or killing the plant. Keep the tree in a protected, at least semi-shaded position for the first 3-5 years, before exposing it to full sun. In good conditions, the plants will fruit in 6-9 years from sprouting. Our plants are currently 1 year old.

Propagating the Mangosteen

Propagate from ripe, fully developed seed. Seeds sprout in aprox 3 weeks.

New! Michelia coco (Large Leafed Port Wine Magnolia)

michelia magnolia coco

Michelia coco is a member of the magnoliaceae family, and it is a relative of the Magnolia. It bears beautiful, highly fragrant cream flowers during many months of the year. Michelia coco grows to around 4m tall and 6m wide.

The Large Leafed Port Wine Magnolia is suited to use in pots, hedges and general garden feature plant. Michelia coco is also well suited as an indoor plant.

Growing the Large Leafed Port Wine Magnolia

The Large Leafed Port Wine Magnolia is best grown in moist, fertile ground. Ensure soil is well draining and slightly acid. Michelia should be grown in a warm, bright position, part sun to part shade. Fertilise this plant in spring with a good quality liquid fertiliser (such as Miracle-Gro) fortnightly, or NPK slow release fertiliser every 3 months or as directed on the packaging. Water them regularly, and prune to shape after flowering.

Michelia coco is often confused with Magnolia coco, but Michelias flowers generally form clusters amongst the foliage, whereas Magnolias form flowers at the ends of the branches.

New! Lampranthus (Ice Plant) Pink & Mixed

lampranthus purple starr 2 

Lampranthus (Ice plant)

Lampranthus is a beautiful, ground covering succulent with deep purple flowers. They are native to Africa and are very drought hardy. Lampranthus is suitable for rockeries, banks or pots, and provides a lot of colour in the garden.

Lampranthus belongs to the Ice plant family, or Aizoaceae. Foliage is very succulent and short, and blue green in colour. Flowers come in all colours such as purple, white, red, yellow, and pink. Flowers are produced year round, and they open in the morning and close at night.

Growing Lampranthus or Ice Plant

Don’t overwater your Ice plant; almost the only rule you need to abide by. They are very easy to grow, and are best placed lampranthus hot pink 3in a full sun position. They will grow in almost any kind of soil including poor, well draining soil. Most Ice Plants will be able to tolerant some very slight frost, but they are best grown in a position protected from frost.

Meaning of the name ‘Lampranthus’

The name Lampranthus comes from the Greek words lampros and anthos, meaning ‘bright flower’.

New! Spathiphyllum (Peace Lily)

spathiphyllum peace lily starrSpathiphyllum (Peace Lily)

About the Peace Lily

The Peace Lily is Number 1 in the Top 10 of Indoor Plants! It is ideal for the darker spots in the house, as this plant has very low light requirements. Peace Lily can help clean the air from your home & office environment, as they remove toxins from the air. Foliage is very beautiful, dark green and can be variegated. Flowers are a stunning white spathe. The Peace Lily is a member of the Arum Family, making it family to Anthurium & Philodendron.

Growing the Peace Lily

The Peace Lily is best grown in a darker, shady spot. It will not tolerate direct sun light. Keep soil moist, but don’t leave the soil completely water logged. If you have left your Peace Lily too long and it has started wilting, revive the plant by soaking it in a bucket of water. Apply a slow release fertiliser in Spring & Summer, or use a liquid fertiliser such as Miracle-Gro. Spathiphyllum plants love humidity, so if the growing environment is dry, mist the foliage regularly.

Coconut Palm Myths – True or False

  • Coconut water contains growth hormones that can grow almost anything.

TRUE; coconut water contains 4 plant growth hormones or cytokinins and has 3 sets of chromosomes (triploid) it can donate genetic material and stimulate growth in many organisms. Coconut water is the father of our modern tissue culture science and is still widely used in orchid propagation. There is current research into hair loss prevention as well as wide acceptance in anti aging cosmetic products.

  • Coconut oil is saturated fat and causes heart disease”

FALSE; unlike animal saturated fats which are long chain triglycerides, coconut oil contains MCT’s median chain triglycerides which metabolise easily, even without the need for bile from the gall bladder. Coconut oil provides ready energy and has an accelerating effect on metabolism. There is no credible link to heart disease but a mass of misinformation has been circulated by other edible oil lobbies in the quest for market share at the expense of lauric oils (palm and coconut), our health, and truth.

  • Coconuts are more dangerous than shark attacks”

FALSE; some questionable research findings from coconut plantations, formally noted for scientific irrelevance have been broadcast by insurance interests to extract higher public liability premiums from wealthy coconut owners. Most insurance claims relate to vehicles being parked under coconut palms, which presents more of a planning and design issue than a life risk.

  • Intravenous use of coconut water.

TRUE; coconut water is a suitable blood plasma extender (universal donor) it has traditionally been used when commercial IV solutions have run out. There are numerous reports of patients responding quickly to IV coconut water. There are also published findings of coconut water being used in kidney dialysis. It has been poured directly into dialysis machines and shown to dissolve kidney stones.

  • Coconuts are weeds.

FALSE; although this attitude makes it easier, in some cases, to remove unwanted coconut palms, it is technically incorrect. The coconuts main method of seed dispersal is by water otherwise they are planted or sprout naturally around the parent tree.

  • Coconut oil provides protection against the sun.

TRUE; the old coconut based tanning oils were largely made from highly processed copra grade coconut oil with additives and often just coconut fragrances. Many seasoned sun bakers owe their wrinkles to these products. Fresh virgin coconut oil is very nourishing if applied directly to the skin, especially just after a shower, while the skins’ pores are open. If applied in this manner, and adsorbed before going into the full sun, the skin is well protected. It is still wise to be moderate in any exposure and not allow dehydration.

  • Coconuts are not native to Australia.

FALSE; there is much evidence to suggest that coconuts (native to our oceans and coastal strands) have been washing up for thousands of years. There is even fossil evidence of coconut type palms in New Zealand (20 million year ago). Indigenous peoples have prized the developing sprout as an easy food source, devouring the rich cream and haustorium inside, made available after the palm sprouts. Consequently, in areas of high habitation young palms had little chance to establish. To the eyes of Joseph Banks and our early explorers, our coastal coconuts looked very sparse by comparison to most Pacific islands which were well visited and explored by other mariners over the centuries. This distinction weighed heavily to emphasise the newness of their discovery.

  • Coconut is the “tree of life” in the tropics.

TRUE; to this day, traditional techniques and patterns of use of this “tree of life” have driven the development, or not, of local coconut industries and led to patterns of discovery of the wealth of the coconut palm. These differ significantly around the globe, wherever and however, the coconut is appreciated. Now, with the aid of the internet, we are much better able to share recipes and explore the unrealised potential and try new coconut products.

New! Flamethrower Palms (Chambeyronia macrocarpa var. hookeri)

chambeyronia hookeri flamethrower palm

Chambeyronia macrocarpa var. hookeri is commonly called “Blonde Flamethrower Palm’. It is similar to the standard Chambeyronia macrocarpa, except for the cream to yellow crownshaft on the blonde version. New leaves emerge bright red, and fade to a shiny dark green after a few weeks. Some people believe new leaves on the Blonde Flamethrower Palm are redder than leaves on the standard Flamethrower Palm. This Palm is fairly small which makes it manageable for most gardens; it grows to 7-10m tall. The Blonde Flamethrower’s fronds arch very gracefully, and it is self cleaning as an added bonus! A well behaved palm in general... The Flamethrower Palm grows well in most parts of Australia, including Sydney and Melbourne, as long as the temperature does not go below 0 degrees. This palm is best grown in a shady position, as full sun does tend to burn the leaves. The Blonde Flamethrower Palm originates in New Caledonian rainforests, where it grows in very moist positions. To grow this palm well, keep it in a moist spot, in very fertile soil. Keep them well mulched, and fertilise regularly with a slow release fertiliser or palm & foliage fertiliser. Add lots of organic matter. Some people believe the Blonde Flamethrower Palm may be able to handle the sun better than the standard Flamethrower Palm, but make sure you adjust them slowly if you are going to attempt to grow it in a sunnier spot.

Cactus Island Nursery now has these beautiful palms available via mail order, or you can find them in the online nursery. Visit Online Nursery. Note the great discounts if you purchase multiple palms!

Cactus Island Nursery – Plant Catalogue August 2009

Welcome to Cactus Island Nursery’s new plant catalogue. We have added some great new palms this month, including the Blonde Flamethrower Palm (Chambeyronia hookeri), the Wine Palm or Jelly Palm (Butia capitata) and Giant Windowpane Palm or Window Coconut Palm (Beccariophoenix Madagascariensis). Back in stock after many months of sourcing is Licuala grandis, the Ruffled Fan Palm. The Ruffled Fan Palm is one of my absolute favourite palms. It is small, dainty, and the whole leaves are stunning. It is a symbol of tropical palms! Many of our plants are currently marked as ‘out of stock’. We are having an early spring clean in the nursery, and are re-potting a lot of plants which were is 50mm tubes into 75mm to supply bigger, better plants when spring comes. It does mean however that those plants are currently not available.

The weather has been no less than perfect here, a little chilly at night but perfect during the day. We can get work done without breaking a sweat! One of our shade houses collapse when cyclone Hamish came past, and we’re working on getting the roof fixed up. Luckily it was one of the older shade houses, and it could probably do with a touch up anyway!

Many of our seeds are starting to germinate, including a brand new palm called ‘Dictyosperma album var. rubra’. Dictyosperma album rubra is also known as Red Hurricane Palm or Red Princess Palm. It is similar to the standard Dictyosperma album, but rubra has red veins and margins on the foliage, and new leaves can be as red as the new leaves on a Flamethrower Palm! We have not had this palm before and are looking forward to seeing how well it will grow here, and what they will look like once they get older. The red version is highly sought after and not often seen for sale, we are very excited to be able to offer these palms!

Yucca aloifolia and Yucca filamentosa are currently germinating, and so are a whole new batch of Strelitzia reginea and Strelitzia nicolai (Bird of Paradise & Giant Bird of Paradise). We hope to offer the Strelitzia’s at great bulk prices once all have come up, so keep an eye on this blog! Another plant which is completely new is Punica granatum, the ornamental Pomegranate. The Pomegranate’s are still germinating, we hope to offer them in summer.

Below is our list of stock, with the items in green being out of stock. I will work on making all the names clickable so it is easier to go straight to the shop if you’d like to purchase a plant, but for now going to our shop manually is the easiest way. Visit Online Nursery
