How to care for it

Keep it in front of a bright window, out of direct sunlight through the glass during the hottest summer hours, and never near radiators or draughts. Water when the surface of the substrate begins to dry out: in summer this may mean every two days, while in winter the interval can stretch to once a week. Below 12-13 °C it must be brought indoors.

Frequently asked questions

Will I receive exactly the plant in the photo?

Yes, it is a one-of-a-kind specimen and the photo shows the very plant that will be sent. As it is a living plant, the foliage may look different from the picture due to growth, maintenance pruning and pinching, or the normal change of season.

Do the measurements include the pot?

No. The 36 cm refer to the plant alone, measured from the rim of the pot. The blue glazed stoneware hexagonal container measures 28 cm in diameter by 12.5 cm in height. The total weight of plant, pot and soil is 7.9 kg.

How much space do I need to display it at home?

The canopy is wider than the diameter of the pot, so it is best to allow a surface of at least 50 cm per side. A wide windowsill, a console table or a low table near a window are all suitable spots. Bear in mind the 7.9 kg weight too.
