Apply as a growerKedrostis Africana key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- 20+ years
- Size
- Caudex 10-30cm
- Light & Placement
- Adapts to full sun through bright partial shade. Keep the caudex exposed above the soil and grow it in a well-ventilated spot.
- Watering
- In the spring-to-autumn growing season, water thoroughly once the soil dries. The vines grow vigorously in summer, so do not let it dry out completely.
- Dormancy Care
- It goes dormant in winter, so withhold water. When new shoots start moving in spring, resume watering gradually with small amounts.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- It has some cold tolerance, but during dormancy it is safest kept dry in a frost-free location.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a well-draining mix with a generous share of akadama and pumice. Repotting at the start of the growing season lets the roots recover quickly.
- Propagation
- The plant is dioecious, so both a female and a male plant are needed to obtain seed. Growth is relatively fast, and seedlings are easy to raise.
