About this plant
A showy plant with a fan-shaped growth habit having long strappy leaves. These are coloured a bronzed green at the leaf centre with fiery bright pink on the outer edges, perhaps with some slender cream lines as well. It is suited to a container, albeit a large one, and makes a vibrant, high impact contribution to the garden. It will gradually hoist itself onto a trunk as it ages. Protect it from cold winds. This is not hardy enough to winter outside except in the warmer parts of the country.

Spring
Spring - late · Outdoors
Feed with slow release fertiliser
Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water during growth
Water young plants regularly to keep soil moist. Mature, well established plants in the ground are drought tolerant and you can leave the soil to dry on the surface for several weeks before deep watering is required. Check plants in pots more often.
Planting & general
Outdoor planting · Planting
Add root growth stimulant to the planting hole
Mycorrhizal fungi helps roots establish quickly, so they absorb water and nutrients more efficiently. It comes as a powder, granule or gel. Add to the planting hole or container, and to the plant's rootball before planting in the hole. For "bareroot" plants use a gel.
