add a pot to fit this plant
This glorious plant is a member of the Lime family and is a vigorous grower. Native to South Africa, it has superb foliage and will flower at maturity. A stunning specimen which is rarely seen in the UK.
Prefers bright, indirect light. Water and then allow the top inch of soil to dry out before repeating (top two inches in winter). Feed monthly in growing season. Mist to increase humidity. Keep away from radiators and ideally in an unheated room in winter.
Nursery Pot Size: 19cm
Height: 90cm
