Plectranthus 'Santana'
Plectranthus are stunning foliage plants which are fantastic for conservatories, patios and large sunny windows. These can be grown outdoors in mild areas or placed outside and brought in when the frosts begin.
The leaves are a cream and green with purple undersides and purple stems creating a gorgeous colourful display. A real specimen piece especially in a decorative pot. These are easy to grow and take low to moderate watering.
These plants come as healthy well rooted young plants with at least one main stem and lots of leaf in a 9cm pot. Approximately 10cm tall. These grow into a nice sized bush over 1-2 years.
Upon arrival unpack and water place in a cool semi shady spot to allow to recover from shipping. After a day or two these can be planted out. Dig a hole the size of the pot and fill with water. Sprinkle a handful of slow release food granules into the hole (this is optional but will give the plants an added boost and can be purchased with your order) soak the plant pot and remove the whole plant and its soil in one place directly into the hole back firm and firm in well to ensure their are no air pockets. Water in. Should the weather be hot during planting further watering may be necessary. Otherwise simply enjoy and trim back old flowers head once they have gone over.
