A
Truly stunning plant, and very very easy to look after
A
very long lasting Blue and red flower spike with deep
green glossy leaves. A real statement plant.
Site:
Bright indirect light.
Temp:
Average warmth after flowering, warm before, keep the
humidity up.
Water:
After flowering keep the well at the centre of the plant
topped up over the growing season. In winter keep on
the dry side and do not water into the 'well'. Keep
humidity up by misting.
Feeding:
A very weak liquid feed every month or so over the growing
season, a very dilute mix can be poured into the rosette
of leaves.
Tip:
A tip to get it to reflower is to let the water dry
in the centre of the plant then place it in a plastic
bag with a ripe apple for a week or so. The apple gives
off ethylene gas which stimulates flowering
(This works for other plants as well)
