The Brachychiton rupestris, commonly known as the Queensland bottle tree, is a unique and striking plant. While it's typically grown outdoors due to its large size and natural habitat requirements, it can be used as an interior plant in a bright room.

Aesthetic Appeal

• The swollen, bottle-shaped trunk makes it a focal point in any interior space.
• Its sparse, glossy leaves add a minimalistic, sculptural look..

Care Requirements

• Light: Needs bright, indirect light. A spot near a sunny window is ideal.

• Soil: Well-draining soil is essential to prevent root rot.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions, ideally between 18–30°C (65–86°F). Avoid cold drafts.
• Humidity: Adaptable to normal indoor humidity levels.
