Amazing Plants You Can Find at Malagos

Study shows that being around trees is beneficial for our emotional and social well-being. Although living in nature contributes to improved wellness, imagination, and even compassion, there might be something special about being between trees. 

After all, trees are important to our lives in a variety of ways. The most evident is their role in generating oxygen that we breathe and in sequestering carbon dioxide to help protect our atmosphere, but research shows that trees can have essential benefits. Perhaps the most well-researched advantage of nature exposure is that it appears to help alleviate fatigue, rumination, and anxiety. And all of the testing has been undertaken in the trees.

You might be wondering, where to stay and relax in Davao City that allows me to forest-bathe under a lush canopy of diverse trees? Look no further because Malagos Garden Resort has some of the most sought after species of plants. Check out some of them below:

Traveler’s Palm - While the traveler's palm (Ravenala madagascariensis) has huge fan-like leaves, the name is actually a bit of a misnomer, as the traveler's palms are actually more closely related to banana trees. This exotic plant grows tiny, creamy white flowers, which also occur all year round. Want to learn about growing palm travelers in your garden? You can actually check out some of Malagos Garden Resort’s indoor plants at their sister company’s website Malagos Homegrown Produce. 

Buddha Belly Bamboo - This species is suitable for growing outdoors or as a bonsai or indoor vine. One of its best benefits, though, is its ability to respond to a wide variety of growing conditions. Buddha Belly bamboo was named for the characteristic inclination of the plant to have bulging culms, or to 'belly out.' This plant has to be pressured for water in order to make it belly out. A lot of people have made the art of carefully starving this bamboo in order to produce optimum 'belly' results.

Gian False Agave - Big, spineless, variegated leaves make this a landmark in the landscape. When the plant reaches the age of 10 to 12 years, it will send a flower stalk up to 10 foot long, producing large white flowers. Good for slopes, xeriscapes, and barrels.

This family friendly resort in Davao City has a hundred more species of plants to boast. You can freely enjoy and learn more about them on your next visit at Malagos. For their packages and more info about their landscaping, you can check out their website malagos.com
