How to grow
How to grow
Good pest and disease resistance
Nemesias are generally pest and disease free, however in overly wet soil they can suffer from a condition called root rot and other similar fungal problems.
Water regularly
Water your nemesia regularly (roughly once per week) to keep the soil consistently moist. More regular watering might be required in particularly hot and dry periods. Take care not to over water your nemesia as this will leave it prone to fungal problems.
Full sun to partial shade
This plant likes a sunny spot. Some afternoon shade can help the plant's flowers last a little longer.
Moist, well drained soil
Nesia Tropical' grows in most soil types (but has a preference for slightly acidic to neutral soil with a sandy or loamy texture) provided it's moist and well draining.
Feed regularly during the summer
Feed every fortnight during the summer with a high potash fertiliser such as liquid tomato feed.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
