A holiday favorite!
Not that hard to look after at all especially if you have a conservatory.
These are large specimens 5-6 foot high and they will make an eycatching
specimen that will flower for most of the year.
Site: Bright
indirect light to full sun, a conservatory or heated greenhouse is best.
Temp: Average
warmth. Keep above 5 degrees celcius over winter
Water: Water
well in the growing season little over winter. They hate wet and cold.
Flowers dropping off early is a sign of underwatering.
Feeding:
Feed with a high potash feed to induce and help continue flowering.
Tip: Prune
and repot in the spring. If the temparature drops to below 10 degrees
then the leaves will drop off (Dont worry!) they will return.
