Artificial Pandanus (Screw Pine) — 100cm
Long, linear, spiny-margined leaves radiating outward in the characteristic spiral arrangement pandanus is known for — this is screw pine, a genuinely distinctive coastal tropical form that reads very differently from the palms and broadleaf plants that dominate most artificial plant ranges.
Not the Cooking Herb — a Quick Clarification
Worth clearing up, since the name causes real confusion. The pandan leaf used throughout Singapore and Southeast Asian cooking — in kaya, rice dishes and desserts — comes from Pandanus amaryllifolius, a small, spineless, non-flowering cultivar grown purely for its leaves. This product represents the larger ornamental screw pine family — species like Pandanus tectorius or Pandanus utilis — with spiny leaf margins and, on mature specimens, a distinctive trunk supported by aerial prop roots. Same genus, very different plant. If you’re after fragrant pandan leaves for cooking, this isn’t it.
A Genuinely Architectural Form
Mature pandanus develops one of the more unusual silhouettes in tropical planting: a leaning or upright trunk, held up by thick aerial roots that emerge above ground and brace the plant like natural stilts — an adaptation that helps the species anchor itself in loose coastal sand. Younger specimens, like this one at 100cm, present as a dense rosette of long arching leaves without the trunk yet visible, which is its own striking form in a more compact footprint.
Construction & Detail
- Long, linear leaves with moulded spiny margins, arranged in the plant’s characteristic spiral pattern
- Wire-cored leaves allowing each blade to be angled for a fuller, more natural arch
- Matte foliage finish with realistic ribbing along each leaf
- Round plastic pot base for stability
Where It Works
- Coastal and resort-themed interiors — a genuinely different tropical silhouette from palms and broadleaf foliage
- Retail and hospitality — beach-club, resort or tropical-concept F&B interiors
- Offices and receptions — an architectural accent distinct from typical office greenery; part of our office artificial plant programme
- Living rooms — a bold statement plant with a spread that suits corners and alcoves
Styling Notes
Open the leaves fully. Foliage ships compressed. Arch each leaf outward and vary the angles so the rosette reads as full and radiating rather than bunched.
Pot it up. A textured or coastal-toned planter — rattan, concrete or terracotta — suits the plant’s origins better than a plain glossy pot. Browse our planter range.
Care & Longevity
Wipe the leaves with a soft dry cloth every few weeks. Avoid oil-based furniture sprays. Kept indoors, expect years of service with no colour change.
Outdoor Use
Suitable for sheltered outdoor positions such as covered balconies and verandas. Prolonged direct sun and heavy rain shorten the life of any artificial foliage.
