Care Guide

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Generally pest and disease free

Water regularly in summer

This plant needs nothing more than rain water throughout most of the year. During hot, prolonged dry periods in summer however, you may have to give the plant a good watering several times a week. If the plant starts to look distressed and the soil around it is very dry, then give the plant some more water and check up on it the next day.

Full sun to partial shade

Your plant will enjoy a position with around 6 hours of sunlight daily and some afternoon shade

Any average well-drained soil

Plant in any well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly poor or clay heavy, add some garden compost with perlite to improve drainage. If it it dry, add some compost or well rotted manure.

Feeding not required

This is a low maintenance plant which gets all the nutrients it needs from the soil. ?v=1613300718
