Nageia Nagi

Nageia Nagi, the Asian bayberry, is an ancient gymnosperm, originated about 155 million years ago in the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era, known as a living fossil in China where it is native.

The leaves are lanceolate in shape and are arranged sub opposite on the branches. Leaves are smooth and glossy, lacking a mid-vein. The new leaves are light green and as they age they become dark green. The leaves produce a very unique tea-like fragrance when crushed, and have the effect of purifying air, resisting pollution, and strongly repelling mosquitoes.

Nageia Nagi is a hardy tree species that can withstand a range of weather conditions, able to thrive in shady, humid, and loamy conditions, and prefers moist soil that is well-drained. Therefore it is low-light tolerant and makes an excellent indoor pot plant.

Ceramic flower pot is included.
