Flowering Natives Filled with Inspiration ! Carolyn
Stunning new cultivar with new growth appearing crimson red and changing colours depending on the season. When small they make amazing plants in terrariums and with a little cutting back they can be kept small and compact for years. They are well suited for indoors as they grow well in low light, great for larger planters and terrariums. To keep a plant compact it must be allowed to grow to a reasonable size and the central growth must be removed; this will force the plant to cluster with much smaller plantlets. Water well if kept in pots but sparingly in terrariums; potting mix must be allowed to almost dry between waterings. Keep in some direct sunlight or provide artificial light. Avoid heaters and draughty positions. Fertiliser should be only used if you would like the plant to grow. Lack of fertiliser will keep plants shorter and more compact.
