Long, broad, dark green leaves arch like a fountain, and clusters of large, sweetly scented white and pale green flowers rise above them, appearing on and off through the year.

It thrives in humid, shady climates with plenty of rainfall, so subtropical and tropical gardens suit it outdoors. In cooler regions grow it as a houseplant, and protect it from frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a good quality potting mix in pots.

Outdoors, water regularly for the first 12 weeks and during dry periods. Apply a slow release fertiliser in spring, and a liquid fertiliser every two to four weeks in the warmer months, diluted to half the recommended dose to avoid burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning.\u003c\/strong\u003e No pruning is needed. For indoor plants, wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth when they collect dust, and spritz with a hand sprayer to refresh the gloss. Repot container plants at the beginning of spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect when it arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sell Amazon Lily as tube stock, a young plant in an 80mm deep tube that establishes quickly. It also comes in 200mm pots in packs of 6 and 300mm pots, sold singly. The tube is small and takes time to grow into a flowering plant, while the larger pots give a fuller plant with the arching leaves already formed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmazon Lily tubes come from our grower rather than our own benches, so they are not always available. When the tube reads sold out, use the notify button on the page and you will be emailed the day it is back. Plants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95. Every plant is covered by our 30 day healthy plant guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant care guides and related reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-plants\"\u003eIndoor plants\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/plants-for-partial-shade\"\u003ePlants for partial shade\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/plants-for-subtropical-climates\"\u003ePlants for subtropical climates\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/indoor-plant-tips-for-beginners\"\u003eIndoor plant tips for beginners\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often will it flower?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowers appear intermittently through the year rather than in one season.
