If you are
looking for a jaw dropping plant then this is it! the flower spike
can be over a metre long! and it will last for months, add to
this the deeply contrasting bands of dark green and silver gray
green running along its foliage. and you have an exotic plant
that will transform any space in an instant.
Site:
Bright indirect light.
Temp:
Average warmth after flowering.
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.
Tip:
A tip to get it to reflower is to let the water
dry in the centre of the plant then plaace 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)
