Thunia key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- 10+ years
- Size
- 40-80cm
- Light & Placement
- During the growing season (spring to autumn) it needs strong light. Reaching 40-80cm, it wants a sunny spot with room.
- Watering
- Water abundantly during growth. Once it drops its leaves and goes fully dormant in winter, reduce watering and keep it on the dry side.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- During growth it needs a hot, humid 20-32°C. In winter it drops its leaves and rests, so overwinter it on the dry side.
- Soil & Repotting
- Pot in bark and pumice for good drainage. The bamboo-like stems grow tall, so use a stable pot that will not tip.
- Fertilizer
- It needs generous feeding during growth. Stop fertilizing once the leaves drop and dormancy begins.
- Dormancy Care
- It is deciduous, dropping its leaves for full dormancy in winter. Withhold water then, keep it dryish, and wait for spring growth.
