Pandanus have become one of the Southeasts favourite feature plants and here at eplants we are proud to state that we are one of Australia’s largest suppliers.Eplants grows a large range of specimen Pandanus ranging from 200mm pot through to ex-ground, multi-branching specimens reaching heights of up to 6 metres.
The top layer of soil between waterings in the summer should slightly dry up. Water approximately every 6-10 days. In winter, a less frequent watering is required. However, the soil should not completely dry out either. Pandanus, as a whole, is not afraid of stagnation of moisture, however, it is not necessary to specially waterlog the plant.
Plants with bright leaves prefer bright diffuse light lasting up to 8-10 hours, preferably the east or west window. Plants with green leaves can withstand shading.
It is better to supplement the pandanus 3-4 times in the spring, but it is possible to feed the fertilizer regularly from May to October 1 time in 2 weeks. It responds well to organic top dressing.
For a mixture of own preparation, take: 1 part of the turf ground, 1 part of the leaf land, 1 part peat, 1 part coarse-grained sand. Drainage is required.
It prefers the same desirable high temperature in winter and summer, best of all 75,2-82,4 ° F. In winter, the minimum temperature that a plant can withstand +64,4 ° F, otherwise the pandanus will quickly fall ill.
