Notas de cultivo

Beschornerias, with their lovely unarmed leaves, are a wonderful soft element in a tropical or cloud forest garden.

Beschornerias can grow in some shade, but will need sharp drainage. They don't like wet soil and roots during dark winters. Alternatively, if you are in a hot inland garden, the plant will appreciate some shade.

Suckers are easily removed and rooted, often growing roots before they are even taken off.

Trunks look best when older leaves are removed, though they tend to persist.

Interés especial

Beschornerias bloom in early summer with tall, colorful red-to-pink branched flower spikes composed of many dangling flowers that are much sought after by hummingbirds. Pink flowers are sometimes tinted green or yellow, adding interest. Once the flower spike has dried up it can be removed, encouraging branching or pups on pupping varieties.

Be sure to give it additional food and water after blooming to help it recover.
