Belonging to the Asparagacae family, this vividly green and easy to care for plant has rhizomatous roots and develops compact tail like plumes of tiny slender leaflets that arc gracefully as it matures, getting increasingly longer and thicker.
Position - a warm spot in bright but dappled / filtered light. Direct sun may scorch the leaves. Avoid proximity to heaters
Water - regularly enough to keep the root ball consistently moist but not soggy. The surface can be allowed to slightly dry before watering again. Water evenly around the plant avoiding the centre and discard any excess that flows out of the base. Do not leave the pot sitting in water as this will lead to root rot
Humidity - These love humidity so a bathroom is ideal. Placing the pot on a tray of damp gravel will help. Misting is an option but only lends temporary humidity
Feeding - An application of a balanced feed 3 or times between spring and autumn will give it a nourishing boost
Ideal Temperature - 14°C and 21°C (65°F and 75°F).
Repotting - only when necessary using an aerated, free draining mix of bark, coir and perlite.
This is in a 12cm nursery pot. You will receive a plant similar to the one in photo
