Unique Specimen Plants at Instant Jungle

Saturday, March 12th, 2011

Our Bottle Palms, or Beaucarnia Recurvata, is one of the items on sale until March 15th.

Instant Jungle is more than just a nursery. We provide unusual and hard-to-find plants for our customers, especially those that need landscaping for large residential, commercial or resort projects. At Instant Jungle, we like to carry plants that suit residential backyards as well as those that can be placed immediately into a new hotel’s pool landscaping.

. To the naked eye, many of these plants look identical, especially the bamboo species. What makes them different?

As we discussed in a previous blog about bamboo and living screens, there are two major types of bamboo: “running bamboo,” or Phyllostachys aurea; and “clumping bamboo,” or Bambusa. Clumping bamboo is better for planting directly into the soil, where running bamboo needs some sort of root barrier to keep it contained within its designated area in the landscaping. It will still create a beautiful bamboo grove.

Besides being “runners” or “clumpers,” each of these different bamboo types have different colorways and maximum growth heights. Please click on the name of the plant below to read the description of each of the plants to see if they are a right fit for your landscaping.

Still not sure? Please feel free to contact us at Instant Jungle for information, recommendations and pricing. All of these plants featured here are only available as supplies last, so call us for information on specific quantities. We’re here to help!
