Overgrown.
These Pandan Leaves are my many years' collections. They used to grow in the ground. Their roots are very strong so it is easy to take care of.
It stays well and happy in the small pot at the moment. Otherwise, it could have grown as tall as > 2 meters from the ground.
They have so much overgrown hence I need to tidy them up.
TAKING CARE OF PANDAN LEAVES 🍃 PLANTS
It is not difficult. Pandan leaves plants they love a lot of sunlight with plenty of water.
SUNLIGHTS
yes, they love a lot of sunlight so best place them outdoor, expose them to receive the afternoon sun. Usually, most plants need 6 hours of sunlight daily to do their photosynthesis.
WATER
To take care of pandan leaves plants just need to shower their soils twice daily in the morning and evening thoroughly. Usually, I count 5 seconds while doing the watering to ensure their roots get sufficient water since our weather is such warm.
Can use drip head with a recycled Mineral plastic bottle or Pepsi-Cola plastic bottle when weather is extremely hot, or when need to travel a few days for holiday or works.
Can also bury a bottle (make some tiny holes at the side and bottom of the bottle) that you can always top up the water from the cap and close up the cover well (to prevent mosquitoes bleeding) if you are growing the plant in the ground or in a big tub. Those plants would be most happy 🎶 with the continuous drip drops of water. Observe them. You can really feel their mood yeh 😃.
It is natural that they will grow their new leaves, new branches, and the older leaves will turn yellow, get dried off, and then drop off. Just need to trip off the yellow leaves will do, they will grow new leaves again very quickly. I like to trim away the drying out ones when they start to have these signs, so not to let them snatch away nutrients from the healthy ones, also to allow the rest of the heathier leaves to receive better sun lights.
FERTILIZER
Taking care of the plants, to fertilize them, easily pour in fresh rice water daily after cooking. They can grow very well. Rice water is the best organic fertilizer and it is the best natural way to fertilize plants.
When they grow mature enough they produce small little cute "pandan babies" at the lower part of the stem. To propagate them, it is safer to wait and let the small "pandan babies" grow till about 10 cm in length. Gently Cut / Pull them out and bury them on a small pot with healthy damp moist soils.
Noticed that after a few days of continuous heavy rain small buds keep coming out likely due to their preferred cooling temperature I guess.
LET MY EYES REST FOR A WHILE WITH THE GREEN
INSTEAD OF STARRING AT THE MONITOR THE WHOLE DAY
You can always pull out the small little buds with their roots when they are about 10 cm (safer and stronger) in height, propagate the small ones in the tiny pots and start to grow them. I use a few of them to decorate my office table beside my computer so as to feed some good greenery to rest my eyes upon staring at the computer screen for long hours.
CLEANING
Once a while you may like to clean them thoroughly, bring them out to shower the whole plant (all the leaves) with a showerhead, wash away dust and insects such as spiders (if any)? I normally do this once before CNY.
At much earlier stages, I used to change their pots from small pots to big tubs. However, later I realize it's not really necessary at all. I notice they can stay well and happy in the 20 cm x 17 cm small pot all the way even until they reach 1.2 m in height (provided there is no very strong wind otherwise they will keep falling down when strong wind pass by).
DECORATION
They look really nice with their tall and strong "muscular" stem and roots that I like to keep the whole thing beside the sofa corner to receive guests.
Yes, my whole hall and kitchen have these fragrances.
ANTI-INSECTS HERBS / PLANTS
NATURAL INSECT REPELLENTS
Put it near the doorsteps entrance they work like 24/7 humble security guards to keep away those cockroaches from entering into the premises.
A few other types of plants with fragrances that are good and helpful to prevent insects are such as Catnip, Lavender, Lemon Thyme, Rosemary, Sage, Chrysanthemums, Pitcher Plants, Venus flytrap, Lavenders, Lemongrass, Mints, etc, they do keep away some mosquitoes somehow rather.
PANDAN LEAVES RECIPES
These aroma leaves are fragrances for daily cooking in dessert, rice, and soup. Those leaves that I have trimmed down, I always cut away their dried portion, wash clean the fresh portion, keep in the fridge lower compartment and use them in our daily cooking. Boil in the soup, make desserts or cook in the rice
yes! it is a good time to google for some interesting pandan leaves recipes right now.
These culinary plants not only add aroma to the foods but also bring benefits to health as well. Generally, plants help detox and they are good antioxidants.
Not bad yah.

香兰叶
“芳兰叶叶香”
《和邓慎思秋日同文馆诗三首》 宋代 耿南仲
槐市任花黄，赓歌且闢场。 醒心流水曲，警耳白云章。
冷竹枝枝翠，芳兰叶叶香。 满前皆俊彦，何但有三康。
