The Pandan, Pandanus amaryllifolius is a cultigen which is unknown in the wild, and has rarely ever flowered in cultivation. (A single mature shrub flowered in the Singapore Botanic Garden in 1974. The only record of the event.) Propagation is by stem suckers.

I can send several bare root stem suckers in a small package, to the mainland only. Please D-mail me about such.

In most gardens Pandan gets about 5 - 10 ft. tall. Here is my hedge which is over 15 ft., planted from a stem sucker in 1996. I'm hoping that conditions are good enough here to get the plant to flower!
