Homalocladium platycladum (Centipede Plant / Ribbon Bush)

Homalocladium platycladum, commonly known as the Centipede Plant or Ribbon Bush, is a unique evergreen shrub admired for its unusual, flattened segmented stems. Instead of typical foliage, it features long, ribbon-like green stems that create a striking architectural appearance, making it a true conversation piece in any plant collection.

Native to the Solomon Islands, this plant is ideal for indoor cultivation or warm-climate gardens where it can be used as a structural accent. Its upright to arching habit and minimal leaf presence give it a sculptural, modern aesthetic that stands out in containers and tropical-themed plantings.
