Draceana Plants. Chinese Corn Plants.Indoor/Outdoor."The Chinese Lucky Plant Also.y Plant

Norman from Morningside

Have 20 or so in pots. These range from 30cm to 80cm. They all have good root systems and are growing along quite nicely. Some have twin Stems.We also have 10 still in soil against the fence. These are also growing very well indeed. Size 90cm to 120cm Single stalk only.
I still feel that "Lucky Plant" or not they are a most gracious plant to have Inside (Refresh your Air) or on Apartment Decks (For those of you who live in Apartments) or any other situation. A nice Clay Pot should be considered. Maintenance, a little water weekly + bit of plant food now & again. If they should assume Beanstalk (Jack type) proportions just lop a few inches off the top. It does them no harm. They are a most tidy/Good Looking (Maybe Lucky for you we hope) Plant to have around and about. Single Plant $15.00 2 for $25.00 or 4 For $40.00. You pick and choose and if required I will dig up those in garden. "Fred" sitting on the chair photo is a Twin stem, he lives with us. Text Karen 0272904446/ L/L 8461074 we need to pass them on as their parents are now about 3metres high and I need to trim them back. Elp.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
