Over
the years this plant has had ups and downs. It has survived well
considering that it has been in the center of two damaging storms,
suffered from occasional cold snaps and through three or four moves. The plant lives in a clay pot and has responded well to fertilizer last season. I expect to re pot again and push it with fertilizer this season. I am using clay as this allows excess moisture to evaporate from around the roots. I cannot remember if this is a dry or moist land species. I generally use a well drained mix that has little or no sand. Time release fertilizer is usually in the mix and I occasionally top dress with millorganite or drench with a liquid fertilizer. After our winter I think most of the plants are in need of more fertilizer. This closeup shows
leaflet tips.
