Tahitian screwpine
Pandanus tectorius
Tahitian screwpine thrives in warm, humid coastal conditions with bright indirect to partial sun and regular watering during the growing season. Its striking spiral leaf rosettes and aerial prop roots make it a dramatic specimen for tropical gardens or large patios in frost-free climates. Keep it protected from cold snaps and ensure well-draining sandy or loamy soil to prevent root rot.
