Default Re: salt air tolerant container plants-tropical??

Ewitte, as an Aroider, I'll tell you that the point of growing some things that are not edible is purely aesthetic. They're pretty.

JJ, your friend can also look at Maranta, Ctenanthe, and that group, and Canna - these are very common seaside garden plants here. If he's very adventurous, he can try a potted Framboyan (Delonix regia).
