It is slow growing when young and propagated by tissue culture, so the plant arrives small and builds through its first season. Tube stock comes from our grower, who does not always have it. The tube shows as sold out when the grower has none, and the notify button on the page emails you the day it is available again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants travel upright and are best potted up promptly. Keep them warm, shaded and out of draughts for the first few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants 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-flowering-plants\"\u003eFlowering indoor 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-pots\"\u003ePlants for pots\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/indoor-exotic-plants-guide\"\u003eGrowing exotic plants indoors\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Red Victory live indoors all year?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
