   Kraft Gardens is a 40-acre nursery (20 acres under cover) with state-of-the-art shade houses. It is an ideal growing facility for some of the world’s best foliage plants. Only the finest ingredients are used in Kraft’s plant production, including liquid feed and the exclusive use of Canadian peat. The plants are grown in highly durable injection-mold pots. With a clean water supply and a drip fertigation system, every plant is fed and watered individually and precisely. With no overhead watering the plants have clean leaves and are ready for use upon arrival, with no extra labor needed for plant prep. The Cravo shadehouses have retractable roofs and sidewalls that provide optimum airflow, and at the same time protect the plant material from extreme weather conditions. Sensors monitor light levels in the houses and adjust the shade cloth accordingly, providing perfect light year-round. To increase efficiency, the facility has moving bench systems in the greenhouse and load-level shipping docks in the packing house. Kraft’s growers incorporate experience, technology, and quality management to provide perfect plants for industry professionals and houseplant consumers.

This includes Dracaena Lisa™, Michiko™, Massangeana, Warneckii and Kentia and Rhapis palms. Foliage plants from Hawaii are nurtured in perfect growing environments on the Big Island. They are grown in a nutrient-rich media consisting of volcanic cinder and Canadian peat that provides good water-holding capacity and aeration. This mixture resists over-watering, even in low light conditions, and allows for a strong, vigorous root system. The palms consistently come in larger specs than what is industry standard for their container size and surveys from leading interiorscapers have shown that Hawaiian Dracaenas last up to four times longer than their competitors, adding even more value to these beautiful plants.
