A gorgeous flowering indoor plant. Position: bright but indirect light Soil: good potting compost Rate of growth: average Flowering period: March to May typically, but they can flower periodically throughout the year Hardiness: tender (indoors only) Current height: approximately 15cm (+ or - 10% including the pot) Pot cover: choose a 12cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot This undemanding and easy to grow house plant looks wonderful when its upright, branching stems are virtually smothered in flowers. Emerging from salmon coloured buds, the young petals have a tangerine flush, but as they mature, they turn a soft, rose pink, which creates a gorgeous, bicoloured effect. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. Home care: Allow the compost to dry out between watering. Water thoroughly allowing any excess water to drain through into the bottom of the tray or pot cover, then discard any excess fluid. Never leave the plant sitting in water. These plants do well in temperatures from 12°C to 25°C, but keep them away from draughts. To prolong flowering cut off the dead flowers, and pinch out any leggy stems to keep the plant compact. Feed with a liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks through the summer months.
