The dwarf umbrella tree is an evergreen shrub. Its leaves are palmately compound, which means leaflets radiate from a single point and are arranged like five fingers around the palm, forming a disc of leaflets quite unlike the usual geometry we see in leafy plants. The dark, glossy foliage of S. arboricola dress the building with a green facade that enhances it aesthetic appeal, and brings much-need respite from the heat.

Song of India
|
The yellow-edged variety of Dracaena is planted as a decorative plant in our vertical garden. The genus Dracaena means a female dragon and could refer to the sap of the plant, which appears dark red when dried, hence fuelling the imagination for mythical creatures. “Reflexa” means bent backwards, which refers to its elongated lanceolate leaves that are stacked and arranged radially around the stem.

Pink Starlite
|
Boasting elliptic foliages with striking streaks of suffused green and pinkish maroon that arch downward in a rosette shape, the spectacular Pink Starlite is definitely the star of our vertical garden. Their unique star-like shape that resembles a starfish and the fabulous stripy colors of their variegated foliage certainly brightens up the seemingly mundane vertical green space and adds an element of novelty to the common houseplants cultivated alongside it.

Trailing Bauhinia
|
This woody perennial vine bears slightly elongated leaves with two to three sunken prominent veins that are distinctly parallel. Young flowers are yellow — bright as a ray of sunshine — and mature into a light saffron with time.
Protruding from the receptacle, the orange petals have visible, branching veins like the fibers of fine silk. The bright blossoms are clustered into a spherical shape which somehow reminds the writer of a curled up tabby cat - or ‘a little ball of fur’.
