Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Grows best in a moist, rich, humus soil in a woodland setting. Consistent moisture is required to prevent leaf scorching. They may take several years to reach mature size and once established do not like to be disturbed. The foliage develops best a sunny location with adequate moisture.
