Botanical species in the genus Pandanus recorded in the PlantPeers database.
Pandanus amaryllifolius
Pandanus amaryllifolius
Family: Pandanaceae
Cultivation
A plant of the humid lowland tropics. Apart from the continuous harvesting of fragrant pandan, there are some indications that ever-wet climatic conditions are less favourable for the development of the large growth form, and thus assist in the perpetuation of the small growth form. Succeeds in full sun or light shade in any moderately fertile, well-drained soil.

Pandanus antaresensis
Pandanus antaresensis
Family: Pandanaceae
Cultivation
Species in this genus generally grow well in most moist, well-dained soils and a sunny position Plants can produce seeds all year round. The small seed is hard to extract from the thick shells - it is often cracked between two stones. The prominent aerial stilt roots with their large spines make this species very difficult to climb - it is the only nut- or oil- bearing Pandanus in New Guinea that is harvested by simply collecting the fallen, ripened cephalia from the ground.

Pandanus conoideus
Family: Pandanaceae
Cultivation
Species in this genus generally grow well in most moist, well-dained soils and a sunny position Often cultivated in lowland New Guinea, and traded at local markets, several cultivated forms have arisen. Cultivated forms are readily distinguised from wild forms by their considerably longer cephalia (cones of fruits) The fruiting bodies of wild forms of this species are often attacked by burrowing insects, though as of 2008 there are no reports of cultivated forms being attacked. A dioecious species, both male and female forms need to be grown if fruits and seed are required.

Pandanus gemmifer
Family: Pandanaceae
Cultivation
Species in this genus generally grow well in most moist, well-dained soils and a sunny position The plant produces axillary buds along the stems. The larger of these are easily detached from the stems and, when they fall to the ground will usually form roots and grow vigorously to develop into a new plant. By this means the species will often develop into thickets in the wild.
