Corokia Cotoneaster

Cotoneaster-leaved korokia (Corokia cotoneaster)

Discover one of New Zealand’s most fascinating natural wonders – the cotoneaster-leaved korokia, often called the “wire-netting plant.” Its unusual zigzag-shaped branches and delicate, silvery-green leaves give the plant a sculptural and slightly mystical appearance. This plant is an excellent interior accent for modern spaces and an original gift for those who appreciate natural aesthetics and are looking for resilient houseplants.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• ☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light or even direct sunlight. The plant prefers well-lit locations where it can retain its silvery glow.

• 💧 Watering: Water moderately. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. Korokia does not tolerate “wet feet,” so good drainage is important.

• 🌡️ Temperature/Humidity: It feels best in cool or moderate temperatures (15-22°C). Misting is not necessary, as the plant adapts well to average indoor humidity.

• 🐾 Pets: Pet-friendly – there are no reports of toxicity, making it a safe choice for homes with pets.

🏠 BEST ROOM

• Sunny living room, placed on a pedestal or a bright shelf where its branching stands out.

• Cooler hallway or entrance hall with a window, as korokia enjoys fresh, slightly cooler air.

• Modern office, where its graphic silhouette will complement a minimalist work environment.
