Tips on how to care for your plant successfully:

Light:  Best grown in full sun.

Soil:  A free draining soil is best.

Potting: Caputia tomentosa grows extremely well in containers.

Always ensure that a free draining potting medium is used. We recommend a good quality potting mix with the addition of sharp sand or gravel to improve the drainage.

Watering:  Plants growing in containers should be watered thoroughly and then allowed to dry our completely before watering again.

Fertiliser: Caputia tomentosa will benefit from applications of a balanced water-soluble fertiliser during spring and summer. Always use a very dilute solution of ¼ to ½ of the recommended dilution rate.
