Plant Care:

Tips on how to care for your plant successfully:

Light: Best grown in full sun.

Soil: Requires a free draining soil.

Watering: Always water the plant thoroughly and then allow the plant to dry out well before watering again. The watering frequency should be reduced slightly during the winter months. Frequency of watering is always the most difficult cultural point to advise on as there are so many variables which influence it. When in doubt as to whether to water or not it is probably best to rather let the plant dry for another day or two and then water it as over-watering can kill your plant very quickly. Kleinia petraea is extremely drought tolerant once established.

Temperature: Kleinia petraea is frost sensitive and should not be grown where minimum winter temperatures drop below 0 degrees Celsius.

Fertiliser: It will benefit from an occasional application 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.

Please Note:

The plant is currently growing in a 12 cm plastic pot. Although our plants are grown under the same conditions and we carefully handpick your plant to ensure the best quality possible, no two plants are identical. Also the colours of plants can vary according to the season. The plant supplied will be similar to the plant photographed.
