Description

A rarely offered silver leaf species. Grows into a long lived, attractive, slow growing houseplant, or can be tried outside in a warm sheltered position or mild climates.

Sowing Instructions

Sow immediately.

Sow seed in pots or trays of moist seed compost in pots or trays. Push the seeds to half their depth length ways into the compost and then cover with a sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place container in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag and keep at a temperature of between 21-25C (70-75F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination is often slow and erratic and can take 1-3 months.

Pot on as required into 13cm (5in) and finally 20cm (8in) pots.

Provide a temperature of 5-10C (40-50F) through the winter.
