Grows well in partial to full sun. Plant habit is open and spreading. Care: Plant your Heliconia as soon as you recieve it using a well draining soil mixture. DO NOT USE POTTING MIX unless it has a considerable amount of aggregate added to it, such as coarse sand. Also do not use soil from your back yard – heavy, dense soils will hold too much water and cause the rhizome to rot. It is very important that your soil is well draining. When you are ready to plant you can often look at the rhizome and see where the soil line had been while it was growing. If you are not sure you may grow it upright with the lower base in the soil. WATERING / LIGHT / WARMTH/ HUMIDITY FOR PROPER HELICONIA GROWTH After your first time watering do not water until the surface soil is dry to the touch. It is very important that you do not keep the soil too wet. Heliconia happen to like warm temperatures and bright light to grow strong. An ideal temperature would be 60* F with humidity over 40 %. .
