Growing Tips
Place Nematanthus ‘Tropicana’ in a warm, sheltered position with bright filtered light. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage. Keep the soil lightly moist but well drained, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings.
Protect from cold temperatures and frost. Regularly pinching back the growing tips can encourage a fuller, more compact plant.
A fantastic choice for adding colour, character and cascading greenery to hanging baskets and sheltered garden spaces.
