Bring a touch of exoticism and structure to your flower beds and containers with Dracaena indivisa, often sold under the name Cordyline indivisa or 'Spike Plant'. Known for its upright habit and long, sword-shaped green leaves that arch gracefully, it offers a striking contrast with other plants and adds lasting vertical interest throughout the season. Easy to care for and heat tolerant, it's a must-have for dynamic summer arrangements.

Characteristics

  • Foliage : The foliage consists of long, evergreen, rigid, sword-shaped leaves, green to light green in colour. They are inserted in a round pattern on an upright stem that forms a 'false trunk' with age. The foliage arches slightly outward as it grows older.
  • Light : Prefers full sun or partial shade. A minimum of 4 to 6 hours of sunlight is recommended.
  • Habit : Its habit is upright, with a strong central stem and foliage that forms an erect and slightly weeping silhouette along the edges.
  • Growth : Growth is relatively slow. When grown as an annual or in a pot, it generally reaches a height of 60 to 90 cm (24 to 36 inches) and a spread of 38 to 46 cm (15 to 18 inches). With many years in a pot and proper overwintering, it can reach 2 metres or more.
  • Humidity : Requires moisture. The soil must be well-drained to avoid excess moisture, which can lead to root rot or botrytis. Drought-tolerant once established.
  • Soil : Thrives in well-drained soil, preferably with a pH between 5.8 and 6.5. Avoid heavy clay soils. For pot cultivation, use a good quality well-drained potting mix. Be aware of fluoride toxicity in some soils/fertilizers that can cause brown spots on leaves (maintaining an adequate pH and avoiding superphosphate fertilizers can help).
  • Temperature : It is a tropical plant that does not tolerate frost. To keep it in colder climates, it must be brought indoors before the first frosts, ideally in a cool location (like an orangery or unheated veranda) with a minimum temperature around 10°C (50°F), or in a bright indoor location.
  • Watering : Water when the soil surface begins to dry. Maintain regular moisture but avoid standing water. Drought-tolerant once well-established, but appreciates regular watering in containers during hot weather.

Uses

  • Types of Use : Excellent as a 'thriller' (central vertical element) in mixed container arrangements, in individual pots on patios, balconies, and terraces, or integrated into flower beds as an annual to add height and textural contrast.
  • Decorative Advantages : Its graphic foliage and upright habit bring architectural interest and an instant exotic touch. It highlights flowering or lower-growing foliage plants around it. It is deer and rabbit resistant.

Care

  • Fertilization : Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring to late summer) with a balanced soluble fertilizer.
  • Pruning : No pruning is generally necessary. Yellowed or damaged leaves can be removed at the base as needed.
  • Planting :
    • Distance : If planted in the ground (as an annual), space plants 38 to 46 cm (15 to 18 inches) apart. In containers, spacing depends on companion plants, but ensure good airflow.
    • Depth : Plant so that the root ball or the base of the plant is covered with soil.
    • Period : Plant outdoors in the spring after all risk of frost.

Good but misleading size
Size: 3Pack of 5 Tier (Not included planks)
Sturdy set for shelving. However dimensions are misleading. Not sure if they sent the incorrect size but the vertical distance between shelves was 11” and that’s without the shelving installed

Buy it.
This is not merely another guide to intensive care. Well-organized and detailed, it hits the right note between the things a beginner has to know (and probably has some idea about) and the things a beginner needs to know (but is clueless). It even includes a chapter on burnout. Recommended for everyone new to the ICU, and also everyone who has been around awhile. I’m going to get a lot of use from this text, I can already tell.

A little too beginner; doesn't translate well to USA patterns of practice
Format: Paperback
The book title really says it all, it really is the BEGINNER'S guide to the ICU for junior doctors and allied health professionals - more like an introduction to important concepts rather than a guide really. The strengths of the text come from its stated purpose of being a absolute, beginner's guide to critical care. The book would be appropriate for perhaps a 4th year med student or a intern who is very early in residency w/ little ICU experience or a newly minted APP; there's little to be gained by a advanced resident, fellow or practicing physician. The chapters are very short which provide a mere grazing-the-surface of important critical care concepts - some chapters are too short to really be useful (e.g. the paltry coverage of ultrasound in crit care (p. 159) is only 10 pages including pictures). The book, editors and authors are UK-based which makes the units of measurement, choice of drugs and some practice patterns, not consistent with what is typical in the USA. For this reason I cannot recommend this text for American learners; e.g. blood glucoses are measured in mmol/L internationally, however USA, Germany use mg/dL where a normal BG in UK may be "4.4" but in the US one might consider a normal BG "80". This carries over again with concepts of ABG's and their utility in ventilator settings, respiratory emergencies and sepsis, etc. which become more confounding when using the PaCO2/PaO2 kPa instead of the mmHg used in American ICU's. When a BEGINNER is trying to learn the FUNDAMENTALS of crit care I recommend that a learner be introduced to the concepts using data measurement they are expected to utilize in practice rather than going through the mental gymnastics of doing conversions and THEN making a treatment decision. The theme of UK and USA differences continues into drug therapy. For example when covering RSI and sedation the authors discuss the utility of sodium thiopental, however this drug has not been available in the USA for many years. In addition there were some other areas where some recommended drugs did not correlate w/ typical USA patterns and others that received hardly any mention (e.g. little mention of vasopressin as an adjunct in pressor support, other paralytics in RSI such as succinyl choline, rocuronium, CCB's and BB's in atrial fibrillation). Least of all there are multiple areas where drug/device names that refer to the same agent but would confuse a beginner starting in the USA (e.g. albuterol = salbutamol, aceteminophen = paracetamol, norepinephrine = noradrenaline, Guedel = OPA etc.). Lastly, on the topic of UK vs worldwide differences the epidemiologic data mentioned refers to UK populations making it somewhat of an abstraction of the prevalence of disease in your area of practice if you're outside the UK. Which is fine, just be aware of that. The chapters, however, are well organized and majority begin with a clinical case which I find is a approach that cements concepts in learner. If anything I feel that some are much to short, even for a beginner. I'm specifically referring to the Cardiac Arrythmias chapter (p 233). There is much to cover on this topic and the 5 pages dedicated to it is simply not enough and there is no further recommended reading. And importantly, the EKG figures were switched around on p234 and p235, which again does a beginning learner a disservice. I did find the chapters dedicated specifically to ICU concepts useful such as "Fighting the Ventilator" and "Endotracheal tube and tracheostomy problems" which cover just enough ground for the trainee. Unfortunately, none of the chapters have in-text citations with little primary references - I did have some questions regarding some chapter authors recommendations and I'm unable to look up where the works cited to review the quality of evidence. There are multiple chapter authors and unfortunately this creates some redundancies. I could only find one area where there was a contradiction between authors which one author stated there is no contraindication for insertion of a NPA in setting of base-of-skull fracture (p.79) and on the next chapter another author stating that "nasopharyngeal airway is contraindicated if there is the possibility of a base of skull injury!" (p.87) - less than 10 pages apart. Again, there's no primary texts referenced and I can't confirm where the best, up to date evidence lies. In SHORT: this is a useful text to the BEGINNER who is looking to obtain a broad overview of critical care CONCEPTS. It is pretty easy to read through and simple to digest where I a motivated learner could get through the full 440 pages relatively quickly and gain a good grasp & appreciation of the concepts of critical care. The text accomplishes its goal of being a BEGINNER'S GUIDE to ICU and explicitly identifies its target audience in the title: . . . . A Handbook for Junior Doctors and Allied Professional. I do NOT recommend the text to American trainees for the reasons above (drugs, units, differences in practice patterns) and I don't recommend the text to practicioners who have more experience.
