Many African plants have healing properties – and they’re water-friendly too. These days we need to use water sparingly and wisely, and because of this indigenous plants are growing in popularity. Because they are natural to our region, they are suited to the climate and don’t need as much water, food or pampering as exotic plants that come from other areas of the world.
