Outdoors it suits warm temperate, Mediterranean and arid or semi-arid gardens, and subtropical ones if it can stay out of persistent rain. Cold, wet winters are its weak point, so in southern and highland gardens pot it and shelter it from frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining soil is essential.

After the first week of settling in, a deep soak every two weeks in summer suits a pot, with much less in cool months. A single light feed in spring is optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning.\u003c\/strong\u003e No pruning.

Tube plants are young and small, and the frills and full colour build as they grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are packed upright and ride well, since the thick leaves store water. Open the box promptly, let the plant sit in bright shade for a few days, and hold off watering for about a week so any bruised roots can callus. This tube is raised by our grower, so supply comes and goes. If it shows as sold out, the grower has none today, and the notify button on the page will email you the day it is back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
