Much of how we recognize house plants is affected by how manufacturers raise them. For example: Dracaena fragrans (“Corn plant”) is typically sold as three trunks with varying heights with foliage at each tip (I’m sure you’ve seen them at Ikea in North America). But look at how they are sold in Hong Kong: a much shorter section of the trunk in a tiny pot. It’s a reflection of the demand for compact plants in highly urbanized areas. BTW, could someone show me what these plants look like after a few months? How big does the foliage get when rooted in such a small pot? Please enlighten me, friends in Hong Kong!
