It is a plant for frost free locations, so outdoors means subtropical gardens and cooler states grow it inside. In far north Queensland the warm winters can mean fewer flowers. In its native Philippines it can reach 6m, but it stays smaller in a pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Use an open, free draining mix of compost and orchid bark.
