They grow wild in Darwin.
I brought back a few plants for Asian friends & neighbours, but they rarely survive for more than 2 winters in Sydney's cold climate.

You could buy frozen leaves from Thai grocery stores near Castlereagh Street (and Sydney's Chinatown) if you want them for cooking purposes.

This plant is rarely found in nurseries, but if you are going to Broome, Karratha, or Darwin, I could give you contacts of people there who has Pandan plants in their backyards.

You sometimes find them in fruit & vege stalls at Darwin's Parap Market and other weekend markets.

Good Luck !!

Lynn, Have you tried the fruit shops run by Vietnamese. I have seen Pandan plants being sold in Vietnamese shops in Brisbane. They are also difficult to keep alive even in Brisbane.

san and kim,
i think i have masochistic tendencies where plants are concerned - i want to grow one for the thrill of growing it, rather than just have them from the grocer's. i don't know when i would ever have the opportunity to go to darwin to buy a plant, and then would i be able to bring it back with me to sydney?
i really appreciate your responses - at least i now know where to start looking.

As far as I know, you can bring Pandan into Sydney if you wash all the soil away from the roots.
Those that I brought in were 'soil-less' and the roots were wrapped in wet news paper to keep then alive during the flight.
Just declare them at quarantine if in doubt.
Cheers !!

Propagating them is not difficult even in Brisbane. I have had success putting the plant in water and roots will form in a couple of weeks and then I pot them out.
I am also trying them out in various positions of the garden. Two next to the shed getting morning sun, one next to my 22,000litre water tank getting some overhead sun and 6 in pots which I move to the greenhouse in winter. They all survived the very severe frost we had this winter but 3 weeks ago one of the pots just died over a few days. I cannot see any reason why it did this.

I thought Pandans are propagated from the tiny shoots/baby plants that arise from the parent plant.
So, for those who had success propagating it, please give us a bit more details of your propagation technique.
Thanks.

I agree with Kim that there is a good strike rate of propagating these plants through water.

Your best bet as you say is to get it from the "pups" (those that are branched out in soil from the parent plant). You have a better chance if you leave the pups to grow to about 10-20cms tall. The more roots initially from the pup the better.

Before separating the pups soak the parent plant with diluted seaweed concentrate a day before just to give the plants a bit of zip before the operation. Sharp secateurs will do the job away from the parent. Get as much roots from the pups as possible. Wash away the excess soil from the pup and simply dip them in a bucket of fresh water. Make sure the leaves from the pup are above the water and let it sit for a week or two. Use fresh water daily. In about a week and a bit additional roots will start to form. When you're happy with the growth you can plant it out to a seedling mix that has good drainage. In between soak plenty with the seaweed mix to give it a better chance.

Note: Strike rate from the aerial rooted pups can be propagated but are harder to survive. Best way is to get the pups from soil.

Tips: For those in colder areas or in Winter. You can still grow them the trick is in winter to put them under cover away from wind and rain and water them sparingly. A lot of them die, not just because of the cold but the excess water from rain or from reticulation that is held stagnant at the top of the plant. The stagnant water combined with the cold in winter will kill the plant in a few days, so cover them and they will be alright. In summer the additional water soaking is no problems.

I have several of these grown pretty healthy this way in Perth near the coast but obviously under cover (shade cloth) amongst my palms. The leaves are prized in asian cooking from pandan cakes to rice dishes. One or two is all that

Rahaidi has described it very well. I have also noticed that the Pandan does not like full sun and the potted ones are under shade cloth.
I have a friend who has one growing in the ground and covers the plant with a blanket every night during winter season. Seems to work as it has survived for years.
Rahaidi, do you have a problem with mealy bugs? I use white oil for those on the leaves but I notice that they also attached themselves to the roots in the potting mix and these are hard to treat.

Hi Kim, I've only used white oil on the leaves for these critters. I haven't had them on the roots.

What you can do perhaps is to make a solution of confidor in a bucket and simply dunk the potted plant and leave the top free. Leave it in for about 30 mins and take it out and let it drain. That should fully saturate the pot with the treatment.

I generally do this process just with water for my potted plants once a season to get rid off excess salts and other residuals (from water and fertilizers) that build up over time.

Sorry Shaun but the ones that I have propagated I've given away already this season.

I've got some of the pups coming up but they're too small at the moment for separation.

Shaun I'm in coastal Mindaries.

Although these a tropical plant, they're actually very resilient provided the conditions mentioned as above being frost free/protected.

In summer conditions under shade-cloth patio/amongst other potted plants. Mist/hose the area to increase humidity and it will go off.

They prefer to be more pot bound so don't go big with pots but do provide quality soil mix. I've also added a layer of dried lupin mulch to retain moisture and to provide nitrogen in its breakdown.

Since we use it for some recipes I've only used slow release fertilizers and have spoilt them with weekly seaweed showers.

Only cut/use a few leaves at a time from the base. They're can get quite woody if you use too much I guess but they do like to set clumps. With these growing at various heights you will get a very green tropical/leafy visual display.

One of my favourite Malaysian dishes is Nasi Lemak which basically uses coconut milk with these pandan leaves thrown in when cooking the rice. The aroma is heavenly and with grilled fish on the side...yum.

With some interests perhaps its something that Daley's can provide in the future ?

I'd really like to get one or two plants. Maybe they could just be posted bare-rooted in a jiffy bag to save on freight? I'm happy to pay say $15 for two.

Let me know if that's OK and I'll send you my mailing address

Many thanks

To give you guys an idea of the price of Pandan plant in Darwin's weekend market ....
a 150 mm pot with a plant about 6-12 inches (??? cm) tall generally sells for approx $5.00 to $10.00 each (depending on size of plant), at the weekend market.
If you pick the wild plants from the roadside 'bush', then its free (of course).
Similarly, some locals will give it to you for free (or others may only charge a nominal $1.00 per plant if you dig them yourself) if they got Pandan growing wild in their backyard ....
just remember to wash off the soil, and wrap the roots in moist news paper when you take it on board the aircraft.

As far as I know, no nursery in metro Perth stock Pandan plants.
Many in Perth have search and 'comb' through all the the metro garden centres, but to no avail :-( .
You will have to get them from private collectors or growers in metro Perth.

If you know of people who fly-in & fly-out of Karratha to bring pandan to Perth for you, then I know of 2 houshold there who got Pandan in their backyards.

Cheers !!

I have just become interested in growing a pandanus. Although I am in a unit I have flourishing mango, paw paw, coconut, etc. There is no tropical plant that cannot be grown in the right microclimate in Perth. There are commercial mango plantations just 30mins from here and fruiting coconuts south of Geraldton which is cooler than where I am at Greenmount. I will check with a lady at Midland Sunday markets who seems to be able to get most things.

My Pandan will be 2 years old this September. It is the only one that survives of the 6 rooted cuttings that was given to me by friends in the Pilbara.
The other 5 that were grown in pots all died within 3-6 weeks .... this surviving one (that I thought was the weakest at that time of transplanting) was buried into a corner of the flower bed.
The Pandan's growth is very slow ...as slow as my Mundo grass .... only a few cm per 4-6 months. But after the recent rain, this Pandan now shoots up 3 little 'pups' at its base. I hope the coming cold weather would not kill it.

So, I need plenty of expert advice from those who had success with Pandan in Perth.
Looking forward to read your opinions in here.

Hi Juinata, I have a few spare pandan plants and could send one bare rooted through the post at $10 plus postage but for Victoria it may need a spiraling white fly freedom certificate which I should be able get from our local DPI&F. The Victorian authority phone number should be 0392109390. Is it a local call for you. If so please check if Pandan is considered a host for SWF.

How much are you selling your Pandan plant? Winter is approaching....I'm not too sure if itz the right season to try planting.

I'm in metro Perth, so if I were to get it thru you, it shouldn't be too much trouble right since we are in same state?

Any advice for planting pandan?

So I just bought a pandan plant today.

I've just got it into a self wateriing pot with good potting mix.

How should I nurture it?
- ferterliser requirements?
- Sun or shade?
- how often to water?

Any tips most welcome.

Hi everybody!
I'm so pleased to find pandan enthusiasts!
I'm the UK and can only find cut pandan leaves from Oriental grocery stores.I've only come across the plant from an Ebayer in Thailand and am unsure of our import restrictions.

I've dipped my leaves in some rooting hormone. 3 of these I've potted up in compost and another 2 I've suspended in water- just as an experiment.

Do any of you have experience with growing pandan from its leaves?

With the onset of colder/wintery weather upon us here in Perth, I recommend moving your potted Pandan plants to a sheltered location. Free from the cold/dry air as well as from the rain. They will certainly die quickly when the extra water gets trapped on their crown. If the upper leaves start to wilt then thats a sure sign. All you need is to move them under the gutters/eaves and just water them occasionally during the cold spell (but not on the crown).

For those that are north of the river I think there are oriental shops that might sell these plants. Ones I saw was a while ago at Girawheen.

Like palms these plants like to be pot-bounded, so try to pot them in smaller bags or pots.

Tip: Create your on bonsai bag for planting. Get any of your old plastic pots drill heaps of big holes (5 cents size) along the sides and bottom (the more the better). Cut up some shade-cloth material and place them at the bottom and sides. Add your soil and plant in. The extra drainage holes plus the shadecloth material will make the plants root out naturally with secondary roots rather than the tap/main root rolled around/pot bounded.

Hi guys, no probs happy to share the info.

With regards to the oriental shop north of the river. Its a Vietnamese local grocery shop along Marangaroo Drive in Girawheen. Theres a set of shops there and next to the Shell station.

Actually you might try your luck with any local oriental shop. Ask them if they have or know where they sell these plants.

Hope you guys have some luck in getting them here in Perth.

Hi Rahaidi

Thanks for the info...I know which shops you are talking about along Marangaroo Drive. Itz within the Newpark Shopping Complex isn't it? I used to shop there. Seriously, I never pay attention to those plants they sell at the Oriental shops. Now I think I'm going to open my eyes wide to see if I can find my pandan plant.

Hi Susan,
Do you keep your pandan plant in a gh/hh (hothouse)?...Give it TLC & for sure it'll survive...Good luck.

Juanita: Its getting warmer and I was thinking of putting them outside. They're just sitting on my south facing kitchen window sill for the moment.

Rahaidi: is this what you mean by soaking the roots in water?

Hi Susan, congrats on your new puchase. looks like you're doing the right thing. Leave it in there for a week and bit. Just wait until it grows some more roots, then plant it out. Remember to replace the water daily and not to overfill it. Make sure that the crown isn't submerged in water, otherwise it might rot out. Keep it in a relative warm area at this time with indirect light and its better to plant them out to pots when theres warmer weather around.

Good luck I'm sure you'll have success with it.

Hmmm.. one of my pandans isn't doing too well (its the one in the background in picture 2 posted 08/05/08) I think the roots were rotting so I've cut them off the stem :( I think there are some fine roots remaining. Does anyone know if I can dip the stem in rooting hormone and perhaps wrap it up in moss/cotton wool?

I've decided to pot up both my pandans as they were starting to look really sorry for themselves. I've dipped the smaller one (pic1) in some rooting hormone and am now crossing my fingers that both will survive!

I thought Pandan's botanical name is Pandanus longifolia .....
that was what the Garden Guru program called when they did the Gardens of Malaysia.

So, could Pandanus amaryllifolius be a different variety of pandan from P. longifolia?

Botanical names can change and rechange so I don't get too hung up on what is the current one other than making sure you are talking about the same plant. After saying that, the attached photo is of a plant identical to what I grow and use and what David Thompson of Sailors Thai Restaurant uses. These plants are in the Townsville botanical Garden Palmetium and marked Pandanus amaryllifolius. A search for longifolia did not give me a pandanus with edible leaves.

I think it is also listed somewhere as Pandanus ordoratissima (or something like that, with a meaning of having fragrance or smell).

Yes Anonymous, as that is what I thought it was years ago but P. odoratissimus is a bigger pandanus that flowers with a smell.

Juanita, that plant travels better than I do.The pot size looks OK if you can keep it warm enough. On that sized plant, up here you could expect plantlets next year but don't be in too much of a hurry to pot them up. Let their roots develop or they will sit in the pot and look at you for ages.

Those roots are fine as they are Juanita. Like most pandanus the roots act as props and putting soil around is likely to cause problems.It is the fine roots that need to be in soil. In the photo the soil level looks fine.The pot size looks OK just sit back till spring and keep it warm,soil and air.

I own a nursery in New Jersey. I always like to collect unusual plants. I have several plants from Australia. I was in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji just to find sources of plants. Recently, a friend of mine gave me this Pandan plant.I potted it but it is not doing anything.Does it need full sun? What type of medium should I use.Moreover, can somebody help me where to purchase this Worsleya plant. There is one person in Australia and he is very arrogant. I will never buy plant from this person. Our website is www.dragonagro.com.
Thank you

Hello everyone.

Didn't realize there was a whole lot of people discussing pandan growth here!

I was wondering if Roger still had any pups left?

I'd be happy to try pandan here in forsty Shepparton. I actually have curry tree, galangal, kencur, piper sarmentosum (kadok, boesenbergia and a sarracenia pitcher plant growing in my warm bathroom. I hope I can keep the pandan alive! Just love the smell of the leaves in cooking.

We can organize something but give it a month or two to get through this winter. What email address can I get you on?
With this interest in pandan we should be running a parallel chat on uses and recipes. Did you know that pandan leaves are suppose to repel cockroaches!

Never heard of that use! They smell so nice, funny that they should scare roaches!
I think your suggestion is a good one. I'll be patient and wait out the winter. After all everyone seems to be saying that we're in for a real freezer of a season.

My email is dktchew@hotmail.com

Been growing a few things like yacon, purple congo potatoes and some unusual fruits. Just planted some seeds for stir fry greens here. Hope it's not too late.

Thanks Roger!
Look forward to trying the pandan when it gets warmer.

Once this plant gets established it really spreads . Friends closer to Innisfail have massive colonies along creek banks that have withstood a few floods. I have broken of many pups a few times now , in just the 2 years my plant has been in the garden .
I was advised to plant it very deep .
It seems to lean over , and the ofsets root into the ground . I listed and sold several on ebay . But I think they need to be rooted well for any chance of success .
Winter would not be the best time for dividing , and I am not certain they would thrive in temperate climates without much pamparing .

I am trying to keep my hopes up .....
however, I think my Pandan plant that is planted in the garden bed may finally die this winter ......
it had survived 2 previous winters ....
but this winter is particularly cold and wet ....
and I noticed that the Pandan leaves have all gone yellow and 'wilting' in the cold ....
don't know if it is too late to dig it up and repot it to a more sheltered spot. :-(

Hi all , Yes I do have a couple of pandan plants spare but after finding the plant movement regulations on the inter net (the Govt staff I talked were not all that helpful) for plants into Victoria (I don't know about New South Wales)it looks like no plants can be sent from the north without expensive treatments and certification, unless they are going to be grown outside.It would have to be a unique location to grow a pandan, outside, all year round in areas that get any frost or lengthy cool periods. On the brighter side,of the hundreds of pandan plants that I have seen, the only pest to date is an occasional grasshopper taking a couple of bites out of a leaf.Has any one else seen any pests on Pandan? Attached photo is of a larger plandan I planted out in early June. It went backwards till 2 weeks ago.

Shaun sorry to hear that. All of my potted ones have survived being relocated under the eaves for the winter. They only had water once a week and their leaves are all healthy dark green in colour. Will have to repot them soon with all this sunshine about.

Meanwhile they have been given a soaking of seasol just to perk them up some more.

Someone mentioned that you can get them at the Canningvale markets so you could try there. However be cautious about buying ones that are too small. They might have been separated too early and subsequently might not have 'rooted 'enough. So greater care is needed for these ones. You certainly wouldn't want to take leaves off for cooking when they're too small as it would further decrease their growth at this initial stage.

I have pandan plant that looks like nearing the end of its live. We brought it all the way from Sunshine Coast and was thriving until about two months ago. All the leaves are wilted and drying. Is it dying? Do you think I can revive it? My husband cut all the leaves out in our desperate attempt to save it. It has few little 'babies' coming out from the sides not shooting from the root. Does anyone know whether at this stage it is worth removing one of the babies and take it inside the house (which would be much warmer)?

mine is in exactly the same situation. It is inside the brick garage with sunlight from windows and the door is closed most of the time. May be it is too cold in Melborne to grow this plant. My fourth attempt in 4 years

My Pandan in the flower bed that died had 3 'pups' (or babies sprouting from the main stalk) when it died :(
I was hoping that it would survive this winter, and I would get more plants from it ....
it is heart-breaking after caring for the Pandan for 2 years and see it survived 2 winters, thrived and bear pups, then it died 'pre-maturely' :(

Hello Jo Tjoa
Leave the plant as is, bring it inside and keep watering it. Add some manure and hopefully it will survive ! make sure when u water it, the babies get a drink too... Good luck.

Hi everyone,
So glad to find a forum full of Pandan enthusiasts!!! I'm also after a pandan plant.

If anyone (Andy, Rose??) have one to spare, I'd be happy to buy it from you. Otherwise, I might have to source it from that Brisbane nursery Pamella bought from.

Cheers,
Jasmine (spunkyjazz69@gmail.com)

My Pandan's in 'intensive care' at the moment, not doing too well this winter. I do have 2-3 babies sprouting by the side of the mother plant but I cannot be sure they will survive if I transplant them at the moment. I got to say, sometimes I wonder whether it is all worth the effort considering that it grows so well and wild back in Singapore/Malaysia.

I don't think edible pandans bear seeds & you can get lemon grass from BigW, Kmart, Bunnings or from any of your local nurseries.

Hi Rahaidi
May I know what kind of soil did you grow your pandan in. Does it have to be very free draining, like with some coarse sand in the mix?

Before my Pandan died this winter, it gave off a very strong aroma that almost perfumed the whole of the flower bed......
and that was the only time I could proprtly smell the pandan scent from my 2 year old plant.

Some 4-5 years ago I saw a large pandan tree growing luxuriently in Brisbane. It is worth considering planting in an exposed northerly aspect adjacent to the north wall, something which worked for a friend who managed to grow a curry leaf plant in Melbourne. Like the Pandan, the Curry Leaf is a tropical plant.

Hi Rahaidi,
Thanks for info on potting mix. May I know how long does the pup take to grow into a big plant, like when you can pick the leaves. It probably grow very fast in the tropics, I'm not sure in area like Perth.Is it alright to leave the plant out in the rain in summer? Thanks.

After separation and upon conditions the pup might take a couple of years develop and muture fully. In those early years you wouln't want to take any leaves off as they need it to well essentially grow and yes in its ideal world like the tropics it will grow quick and lush.

In Perth and probably for Melbourne the only trick you need to make them survive is to keep them in pots (so they're portable) and keep any moisture off them in the colder months. In summer the rains are fine but do keep them out of the winds and direct sun otherwise they'd burn and the winds will rip and crease the leaves. Best spot is under some underover/filtered patio.

I am in Broome at the moment .....
the Malay satay-man who gave me 2 Pandan plants many many years ago had passed away and the family moved to Perth ..... so all the pandan plants that grow free & lush in his backyard were disposed by the new owner of the house.
However, I had made contacts with locals here who may have plants for sale in 3 to 6 months time .... they are:
1) Fusion Herbs & 12th Mile Cafe @ Yamashita Street (@ 12th Mile, an outer suburb of Broome)- Number can be found in telephone directory.
2) Broome Organics, (owner is Wayne Howard) - Number can be found in telephone directory.
3) A few local town residents, whose number I cannot disclose in public forum.

Will discuss the difficulties of growing Pandan in Broome later ..... I am at internet cafe at the moment.

I hope to bring some cuttings back to Perth in a few days time.
So, please wish me luck.

I am suffering from a bit of time lag at the moment ....
so, I'll be brief....

There seems to be much trouble growing Pandan in Perth and Broome (and also in Karratha).
The only place where I know Pandan seems to grow trouble free is in Darwin.

1) Perth - my experience with a Pandan that grow in the flower bed outdoors for almost 31 months:
The cold and wet winter in Perth seems to be a major problem for Pandan plants.
They put out new leaves in spring, then get slightly burnt during the hot Dec-Jan heat spells, and by 'autumn' some new roots and 'pups' will emerge. It will survive outdoors if the winter is mild, and it is not exposed to too much rain.
My beloved 31 month old Pandan finally died during the last winter, as it was the coldest and wettest and 'longest' winter thus far.
The 2 previous winters were milder, drier and 'shorter', and the Pandan managed to pull through the cold months.
The Pandan seem to die from root and crown rot.

2) Broome - experiences and feedback from local growers there.
The heat and dry spells in Broome seems to pose a problem for Pandan plants.
Locals there seem to think Broome is too hot to grow Pandan properly. Some think Pandan may grow better in colder climate (this is contrary to the experience in Perth).
The leaves of Pandan tend to get burned and dried up in October, and most death of Pandan plants occur in Nov/Dec/Jan, despite constant watering.
Most of the plants' growth occur in Apr - Aug (and these are 'winter' months in Perth).

3) Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines - observations of sites that Pandan thrives:
Pandan in the tropics grow in full sun, and can be seen growing along ditches and paddocks.
Despite the heat in the tropics, the leaves do not burnt.
They grow in 'wet' soil and don't seem to suffer from root and crown rot.

So, it appears that Pandan plants don't like cold and wet winter, nor hot and dry summer.
Perhaps, warmth and humidity is the key to growing Pandan successfully.

Hi Shaun, sorry to hear about your loss. Its definately not a plant that you want to plant out in the ground here in Perth. Our weather conditions here are too 'extreme' for it too survive in the ground. However if you left them in pots under patios they will do very well. I have had mine for several years now and will repot them soon with the warm conditions upon us.

I got these from my inlaws who have been growing them in Perth for a long time. They had about ten plants ready to go before last winter but belatedly left them in the elements too long. They didn't survive. She hopes to have some later on.

So the story is leave them in pots under a patio. Put them amongst other potted plants to create the added humid conditions. Never leave them in the open. You might think from all this that is a hard-basket type of a plant , but personally I really think that the plant is easy to look after.

The fresh leaves are no comparison than the ones you get from frozen sections on the oriental shops and the aroma of the pandan plant itself is heavenly.

Yeos is an oriental merchant that sells takeaway food as well. Asians swamp the shop each weekend for the yummy treats and food, as well as to buy groceries.

This round eye joins in as well !

It is on Belmont Ave, opposite the ANZ bank both being on the north side of Belmont forum.

I am trying to grow Pandanus tectorius (those which are common on the beachfronts in Queensland) from seed. I have tried several methods - soaking the seed, planting it deep in a pot, letting it lie on top of the soil, half submerging it in a pot and leaving the tops out. I have had several shoot - the ones planted deep in a pot. They now have several shoots above the ground but on inspection, have no roots appearing yet. Has anyone grown these from seed, and if so, can you tell me how they progressed. I have planted another 40 or so seeds so hope to grow them successfully

I have 8 pulps (ranging from 20 to 25 cm long) which have at least 3 roots each without soil and 5 big plants with diameter of around 2 cm or more with extensive roots systems in soil FOR SALE.

they will not be ready for another month (or 2 weeks for pulps) because I repoted the big ones and the pulps are still rooting so I want to make sure they are ok before selling them.

Are you interested? pulp one $8 each, the big one $ 25 each pick up by yourself.

Just curious, but is there a possibility of grafting a Pandan onto a more climate suitable rootstock like the Agapanthus?

Would that even work or would the Pandan just end up inedible?

Pamella,
How is your Pandan plant growing?
I am considering sending an order in and would like your feedback on it.
Incidentally, Pandan leaves drank for 3 months apparently will cure gout. According to old cures

PANDAN COCONUT : There is a variety of coconut called the 'fragrant coconut' which is exported,as such,from Thailand to Australia.
It has a pandan flavour and that is why the Malaysians call it 'Kelapa pandan'.
And the thais call it 'Marprow narm hom'or i.e. 'fragrant water coconut'.
If you want to know anything more,just ask.

Manda : It is sold in some Woolworths supermarkets ,and the other supermarket chains too , for about $2.
And also in asian shops.
Have you seen any yet?
Even if you do find it,the coconuts do taste better in asia ,maybe because the imported coconuts here are refrigerated and maybe fumigated or irradiated etc.

With all this hot weather about the Pandan plants have taken off. For those in Perth I have about a dozen of this seasons cuttings now available in 20cm pots. They have been separated and rooted and on their way. Hope to have some more in a months time to go as well.

Hi Julie
I keep them in the laundry in winter, and bring them out on really good sunny days. In summer I leave them in half sun half shade on the balcony. You have to water it everyday. I also use osmocote as manure.

Hope this helps.

Hi Julie,

A little water everyday in winter wont hurt. No my laundry dosent have sun coming in.

I do leave the plant outside, on a sunny winter morning/afternoon and bring it in when the sun goes down.

Good luck.

If youre still reading this;

Just saw your chat and great analysis of the care of Pandan leaf, I wonder if you could spare me one or two (And maybe even pommygranate)? I live in Perth and I tend to cook and I would really like to have some and grow and nurture some, I am happy to buy it off you if I can.

Just got myself a new home and would love add something that I like

can give contact if you are keen to help,

I'll be visiting Karratha soon ....
hope that my Thai and Singapore friends up there can spare my 1 or 2 plants to bring back to Perth .... fingers crossed.

I noted that that some Pandan's fragrance is different from others ....
some have a more herbal-wood (spice) tone to its fragrance, and others have a more flora-honey (sweet) tone to its fragrance ....
is it my imagination, or are they different cultivars of the same variety ....
any experts in this field out there, please comment.

Hi Shaun, hope you have some luck in getting the Pandans from up north. They should thrive up there.

With regards to the difference in fragrance, I'm not sure but I know that there seems to be two cultivars that I have that are different in terms of the length of the leaves. The longer leaf variety seems to be the authentic one and looks great and are the ones that I have been proagating as of late. However both generates the fragrance and taste that Pandans are renowned for in culinary dishes.

Linda the best way to induce offsets is to re-plant the Pandan to a taller pot so that it is potted about an inch below the neck. This of course should be done during the warmer months.

Hi Rahaidi,

Can you please let me know where I can get a healthy Pandan plant. I miss it very much in our cooking and find the frozen variety less exciting in flavour.

I have grown one before indoors but lost it to the white mealy bugs. Even with comfidor it did not work.

Hi Amy, sorry to hear of your loss, but having them inside the house is a challenge in itself. They much prefer being outside and getting some natural heat, sunshine and air. I find using white oil now and again helps the plant from leafy critters.

I had some propagated Pandans early in the season but they were quick to go with enthusiasts in Perth. I have another series of cuttings but they aren't as mature as the earlier ones. I'd rather wait until they have a good root set before seeing them go.

I would advise against cutting any leaves when they have recently been propagated. It will set them back. Better if you give them a chance to grow out making them bigger/stronger. Generally the following warmer season should be fine.

Linda we plant close to neck during the initial planting of our propagated cuttings. What we find is that they tend to grow a lot faster than planting them high. So my guess is that you can do the same with yours. Just make sure you use quality potting mix to allow good drainage.

Also give them good dose of Seasol on the base and leaves a night before repotting. Actually I find that they love this Seaweed bath, so if you mix in a diluted amount in your stock-standard 9L watering can to last for week, treat them a little of this and they will reward you with nice deep green and lush foliage.

Hi au0rey,
No, not the leaf. I was talking about the pups you separate from the mother plant. They normally do not have roots or very just a root or two. By putting the stem up(not the leaves) in water, the plant will put out new roots very rapidly and you can then pot them up.

What is the lowest temperature pandan can survive? It seldom frosts where I live but can get down to 35 F a few nights a year. Currently I have my pandan in a 30 gallon aquarium for the heat and humidity. I think it will outgrown that soon.

Not sure what is the lowest temperature it can survive. From my experience, we had a very severe frost 2 years ago. Cold enough to freeze the water in the hose I left on the ground and the 30mm of water in the bird bath. These were in the open away from the house. The pandan that I had in pots were in the greenhouse but those in the ground were planted next to the water tank and garage. They all survived. So the heat radiating from the water tank and walls must be enough to keep them alive.
Hope this helps.

This is to Kim,

Thank you. That does help. I will try one outside next to the house and attempt to keep it alive next winter. As it is so difficult to find a source for live plants, I'll play it safe and keep the other inside. It has only frozen the water in the fountain once in the 25 years I have lived in Whittier and that was on the upper tiers only. Perhaps it will be OK.

Hi Theany good to know that some of the tips works for others as well. Thats a very small plant you have there. Glad thats its pushing for growth now.

Lyn and Amy I have the last lot in 20cm pots if you're interested. I got a couple that are twin set as well. Some of the cuttings have been taken from some mature Pandans, so they should advance really well. Have a look at the pictures included. The height of these alongside the watering can will give you an idea of their relative heights.

All the best

Potting up to Induce Side Offsets (Pups):

Heres a recent set of pictures that I took to pot up a juvenile Pandan plant that was getting too tall with aerial roots. The plant was not cut short this time round as I want to make it spread out with side offsets. You can see the aerial roots coming out and if you look closely to one of the zoomed in pictures some of the offset nodal points (green buds) coming out. The plant was potted up using a taller sized pot and mounded slightly on top to allow better drainage. It was planted up to the neck to induce the plant with side offsets. Expect to see these coming through before seasons ends or before the incoming colder weather to which the plant will be moved to a drier location.

Hi Linda, you can propagate those offshoots that come out from above the plant with varying success. As long as they have some length you can snip it from the main, take out some of the older leaves starting from the bottom and dunk it in water (keeping the leaves/crown above water) to initiate the root set. Give it time for the roots to develop like the picture shown by TR above. Until then they can be planted as per normal (up to neck).

Actually I've also had some success with the tiny offsets that have just grown above the plant which are about 2 inches long. I simply twist these little guys off from the main and just plant it a mix and away they go. They take a little while to get going but they do survive and indeed become a full grown plant in time.

With all these propagation techniques you must keep the fresh water up.

I bought one from Ebay today - there are 3 left, at $11.00 each plus $8.50 postage.

There's also a larger one but it's only available for pick up from the Gold Coast. If you search for "pandan" it will turn them up.

Linda, I guess all plants are susceptible to some kind of diseases or nutrient deficiencies, however I've had much success with these plants. They're quite robust given the right conditions as mentioned from the posts above. The only tricky part is during winter where they have to be relocated to a drier spot. Other than that...easy

I'm wondering if anyone can clear up what seems to be a contradiction? How is it that you can keep a pandan plant in a jar of water, however if you plant one in a pot, you need to be careful not to over-water it?

I just find that rather curious...

Hi Lucy

I have been looking around at Asian stores and nurseries for pandan plants to grow in the garden. Have been unsuccessful so far. Am so happy to have found this site full of pandan enthusiasts. Would you let me know the costs to have them shipped to SYdney?
Thanks so much. My email address is : juli_yin@hotmail.com

lucy very kindly sent me a pandan with instructions, to boot. it arrived in very good condition, but is now showing signs of deterioration. it's in water, only the roots, and nowhere near the leaves. the roots are coming along nicely, but it's the leaves i'm worrying about. any advice opinions? as expected, the weather is cooling down.

Wow - thanks for the growing tips, Rahaidi. I tried to grow Pandan two years in a row about 15 years ago, and both times they died over winter, so I gave up.

I LOVE kaya (pandan-flavoured coconut jam, for anyone not familiar with it... give it a try - they do actually sell it in Woolworths) ...and lots of other Malay sweets... mmmm.... :-)

I'll have to go and see if I can find some at Canning Vale markets to try again (keeping them outside, this time, and making sure they don't get overwatered in the winter!) ...I kept them indoors before, thinking that they wouldn't like the cold.

...and then my uncle looked vaguely surprised and said that they go nuts in Darwin... (he used to live there and he and my aunt have seriously green thumbs...)

Cheers,
Liz

A message to all the Perth people looking for pandan plants. I finally bought 2 today !!

I went to Canning Vale markets, both the chinese shop and the Sunday markets and there were none. But a person at the markets said that you can get them from a chinese shop in Girawheen and voila they were there.

Its a vietnamese/chinese shop on Marangaroo Drive called Australian and Oriental Supermarket, in a group of shops. Cost $12 and there was still one left when I was there. They are at teh front of the shop, outside.

I just need tips on how to keep it alive !!

Hi,

Just read all Rahaidi's posts about caring for my plant over winter. So, I need to keep it under shelter outdoors and not water from the top.

I dont have a lot of other pot plants under cover, will be ok under the eaves by itself ? Should I cover it with a shade cloth ? And would a self watering pot be better ? do i have to put it on a stand ?

Also, i read i should water it once a week, should i just soak it in water (the base) to water it ? and with some seasol ?

Hoping you can help me Rahaidi ?

thanks
Jennie

Hi Jennie, congrats on getting your new Pandan plant. Hope it goes well for you.

Under eaves: should be good as long as its protected by wind and rain. You want to make sure that theres no chance in getting the crown wet from rain in the colder weather.

Shade cloth: Still the same as under eaves, in that you must try to avoid water landing on the crown.

All this applies in the cold season as mentioned before in the warmer months the way you water does not matter.

Self watering pot: Again for the colder months this method of potting might not be good as it continuously draws water from the basin keeping the entire pot wet all the time. In the colder season its best for tropical plants to be relatively dry/moist not wet.

Using stands for potted plants: Yes why not its always best to for any potted plants as it gives the pot a good chance of draining away the water as well as aerating the roots below.

Watering: yes once a week is good during winter even with seasol and definately water near the base and not on the crown.

They're pretty robust really. I think most people here kill them off because of too much water in the seasonal cold months.

Hope that helps

Rahaidi

Thanks Rahaidi !!!

Just a few more questions:

How do you water near the base ? Do you mean the base of the pot or the actual plant ? If its the pot, do you soak it in water and for how long ?

I have put it under the eaves, do you think covering it with shade cloth will help as well ? or maybe I put a shade cloth around the pot only and keep the top clear ?

Thanks again !

Hi Milycap,

Hi Raihaidi,

Since you're an asian, you know so much about this lovely Pandanus amaryllifolius. Love it for nasi lemak, kueh nagasari & hainanese chicken rice.Need your help about the plant before buying it.I intend to buy a plant. They have it selling over ebay from Malaysia to anywhere in the world. do you think it's ok to put it in the ground upon receipt (it's summer here now) & transplant it to a pot in autumn for bringing indoors? (we have cold winters here). If you put it in the ground, guess it'll be pretty prong to slug attack right?

thanks a lot for your help!

There is another segment of ABC Gardening Australia TODAY on INDOOR PLANT CARE, how to regconise if your indoor plant needs a drink and if it has been overwatered. The program will be repeated tomorrow after lunch. Anyway, it is a very good one to watch.

The small Pandan given to me by a local Malay living at South Hedland on May'09 did not strike .....
Guess it is getting too cold in Perth now for it to strike, I guess ......
but out of the 6 cuttings that I got from Broome in Oct'08, 3 survived, and seems to be doing OK .....
These 3 are the ones that I grow in well shaded warm area (behind a north facing fence) ......
The other 3 that was grown in full sunlight were killed by the summer heat .....
Hope the 3 remaining Pandan will survive this winter .....

My 3 pots of Pandan are also browning out .....
it's probably the cold .....
snails love Pandan leaves, esp the young tender ones when other food are not readily available on cold winters day .....
snails can eat out the crown of your Pandan and killed it !!! ....
sp, bail out all your snails ....
Good luck !!

The two pandans I got from Rahaidi at the beginning of the year are doing ok. They have been moved indoor since June. They are in my bathtub, because it is right next to the north window, great for the winter sun. I get them outside in the weekend once in a while when it is bright and sunny.

Hopefully they will survive!

Good luck.
