🌎 Country of origin: India

Screw Pine (Pandanus veitchii) is a bold, architectural foliage plant grown for its long, sword-shaped leaves that spiral around the stem, giving it its common name. Its leaves are striped green and creamy-white with finely toothed margins, creating a dramatic fountain of variegated foliage. Mature plants develop characteristic stilt-like aerial roots at the base. Tough and tolerant of heat and humidity, it makes a striking accent for spacious interiors, lobbies and tropical gardens. While related to the fragrant Kewra of perfumery, this ornamental form is prized chiefly for its striking, variegated, spiralling foliage.

Growing tips

In India it loves heat and humidity, so it thrives outdoors in shaded spots through summer; handle carefully as the saw-toothed leaf edges can cut skin.

Screw Pine Golden Care

Pandanus veitchii thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates a warm, humid spot, making it well suited to Indian homes and balconies. Water when the top couple of centimetres of soil feel dry, and use a free-draining potting mix so the roots never sit in water. Wipe the sword-shaped, cream-and-green striped leaves occasionally to keep them glossy, and feed lightly through the growing season for strong new growth.

Screw Pine Benefits & Uses

The Golden Screw Pine is prized for its bold, variegated foliage that brings year-round colour and a tropical, sculptural look indoors or on a shaded patio. Its arching, spiny-edged leaves work well as a statement plant in living rooms, entryways and balcony corners. Being hardy and forgiving, it is a good choice for gardeners who want striking greenery with minimal maintenance.

Where to place Screw Pine Golden

Position Pandanus veitchii near a bright window with filtered light, or in a semi-shaded spot outdoors that is protected from harsh afternoon sun. Give it room to spread, as the leaves fan outward and can reach a good width over time. Keep it away from cold draughts, and pair it with matching pots and soil from GardenGo so you can order everything for the plant in one delivery.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water Screw Pine?

Water when the top few centimetres of soil dry out, keeping it lightly moist in summer and drier in cool months.

How much light does it need?

Bright indirect light keeps variegation strong; it also tolerates some filtered direct sun. Deep shade dulls the colours.

Is Screw Pine safe for pets?

It is regarded as non-toxic, but the sharp, saw-toothed leaf edges can injure pets and people, so place it carefully.

When should I repot it?

Every 2-3 years in a sturdy, heavy pot, since mature plants become top-heavy with aerial roots.

How do I propagate it?

Detach the offsets or suckers that form around the base, with some roots attached, and pot them separately.

Why are leaf tips browning?

Browning often comes from dry air, underwatering or mineral build-up. Raise humidity and use filtered water.

Does it flower?

Ornamental Screw Pine rarely flowers in cultivation; it is grown almost entirely for its striking foliage.

Can I grow it outdoors?

Yes, it thrives outdoors in warm, humid, shaded spots and is also grown indoors in bright spaces.

Why are the leaf edges so sharp?

The leaf margins are naturally finely toothed. Handle with care or wear gloves when pruning or moving the plant.

How often should I fertilize?

Feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season and reduce feeding in cooler months.
