It is advisable to grow the The Castanospermum australe in a very bright place, although it should be protected by direct solar rays. We suggest locating the vases in a pretty bright place, although avoiding direct sunlight, which could damage the foliage.These plants can be put outdoors only if any danger of freezings has gone by.

The Castanospermum australe grows erect, developing a short stem with a small crown, usually roundish. Castanospermum australe Is an evergreen; during winter iIt assumes a green colouring; the adult specimens are medium in size and reach 1,8 m high.

During the spring let’s regularly use a fertilizer rich with nitrogen and potassium to favour the development of the new vegetation; fertilization is done by adding fertilizer to the irrigating water, every 15-20 days.

Irrigation Castanospermum australeTenere Umido
Water when the ground is dry; in case of prolonged droughts water very often, otherwise every 1-2 weeks can be enough using 2-3 glasses of water ; avoid water stagnations and excessive watering. It is advisable to water the plants avoiding to leave water in the saucer, because stagnant water often develops fungal diseases.

Adversity Castanospermum australe
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.
