Water this plant regularly, when the surface of the soil feels dry. Usually this will mean once or twice a week in dry weather. Use drippers, emitters, or a slow stream of water so that it doesn't run off; allow the water to trickle all the way down through to the deepest layers of soil. In a pot slowly water the entire surface until water comes out of the bottom of your pot. | |

Notas de cultivo
More cold-tolerant than many heliconias and good vase life as a cut flower.
If grown outdoors in harsh climates this plant will look rough during winter storms and can be groomed when weather warms and it will fill out.
Interés especial
One of the ultimate tropical plants, yet tolerant of mildest California gardens.
