Iron trees, with their unique feather like compound leaves and characteristics such as drought resistance, cold resistance, and resistance to pests and diseases, serve as intermediate plants and complement each other with southern fir, forming a natural and beautiful scenery. 2. White Swan Butterfly Orchid
Reason: White Swan Butterfly Orchid is an elegant orchid with a long flowering period, large flowers, and rich colors. In plant combinations, the white swan butterfly orchid can be used as a foreground plant to enhance the beauty and agility of the entire combination. As a mid to high level plant, the iron tree contrasts with the butterfly orchid in terms of height and morphology, making the entire combination more diverse and colorful. 3. Other evergreen shrubs or ground cover plants
Suggestion: In addition to the southern fir and butterfly orchid, the iron tree can also be paired with some evergreen shrubs or ground cover plants.
