Planting
From Early Spring TO Late Winter
This is a sub-tropical plant that will not tolerate frost, and in temperate climes is grown as a house-plant. It should be planted in free-draining compost, and placed in brtght light, but not in direct sunlight.
Propagate by division
From Early Spring TO Late Winter
The rhizomes can be divided to extract new plants. Dig up the whole clump, or a section of the clump, or remove the whole plant from the pot, and shake off the soil. If the root ball is heavily matted, cut vertically downwards, right through the root-ball, with a sharp knife, and divide the clump of plants into smaller sections.Or, if the roots are not too matted, gently prise apart with your fingers and use a knife if necessary, to separate one plant at a time, getting as much of each plant’s root system as possible, Re-plant each new piece immediately as required
