Here in Ireland, this beautiful plant has big visual impact and makes an excellent addition to any space. 

Care Instructions: 

• Keep in bright, indirect light. Thrives best in a south-facing window, under a roof window or beside patio door. In the summer, move the plant to a shaded spot during the day to avoid leaves getting burned from the sun.
• Water only once the top inch of compost is dry. Check this by putting your finger into the compost and scraping back a little. 
• Fertilise once per month during growing seasons. This can be done by adding a little liquid fertiliser to the water. There is no need to fertilise during the winter.
• The single stem variety will need to be repotted after 3 years. The larger plants have sufficient pots size, adequate for many years.
• Keep the leaves dust-free by cleaning with a soft damp cloth periodically. 

Care Level Rating: Medium
