Plant Care
Plant Care
Position / Light:
This species requires plenty of indirect, bright light (as much as you can give it) and will therefore be equally happy outside. Just remember that it will need adequate drainage if it's going to get rained on.
Care / Water:
This is a pretty thirsty species so make sure to keep it well watered (especially in the summer). As always however, drainage is key, so we recommend taking it outside (or into the bath or shower), giving it a good drench, then leaving plenty of time for all the residual water to drain through. For optimal growth, apply liquid fertiliser every two weeks during spring and summer. During winter (if kept inside), this species will appreciate a regular misting so that it doesn't dry out as a result of your heating.
