Engrais
Lysichiton americanus does not have high fertilizer requirements. If needed, a balanced, slow-release fertilizer can be applied sparingly during the growing season.
Rempotage
Repotting is generally not necessary for Lysichiton americanus as it is typically grown in outdoor wetland areas. However, if grown in a container, repotting should be done in early spring before new growth begins. Use a large container with loamy, water-retentive soil.

Supplémentaire
