Part Shade / Sun Use
Patio or terrace, in a large container. Can be planted outdoors in a very mild oceanic climate.
Planting
Ideally in partial shade, protected from cold winds. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and half-fill it with an acid compost. Remove the plant from its container and thoroughly soak the root ball. Place the plant (not too deeply) in the hole. Finish adding the compost. Water well.
Maintenance
Water regularly during flowering and dry weather. Add a specialised fertiliser each spring. Shelter in winter depending on climate.
