Frequently asked questions
Aglaia odorata
Are such tiny flowers normal?
Yes. The flowers are only about 2 mm across; the plant is grown mainly for its scent.
Will it fruit?
Aglaia odorata has male and female flowers on separate plants, so a single plant may not fruit; it is grown for its flowers and scent.
Can I keep it indoors?
It needs good light and flowers poorly in a dim room; use a sunny window or, better, an outdoor balcony or terrace.
Will it arrive in flower?
Flowering depends on the batch and season; the listing does not guarantee flowers on arrival.
