ABOUT THIS PLANT

Tithymaloides Nana Plant, Ideal for windowsills Pedilanthus Nana is a succulent of most unusual form. This evergreen shrub has zigzagging fleshy stems with thick waxy deep green symmetrical leaves and produces star like clusters of red flowers. An excellent plant for the urban gardener where ease of maintenance and lack of space is of prime importance. Usually growing to height of 4 – 6 feet Pedilanthus only requires half a days sun and is drought tolerant. These are very healthy plants with well established root systems.

The growth rate of Tithymaloides Nana will vary greatly depending on soil type, sunlight, temperature and other factors. Lower leaves are trimmed prior to shipping to reduce transpiration and travel stress.

PLANT CARE

Tithymaloides Nana are very easy to grow indoor plants that require little care. They add a beautiful accent to any indoor space, garden or patio. In very cold zones a containerized Plant plant can be brought inside for the winter months. In the northern end of their grow zone Tithymaloides Nana plants should be brought indoors or protected with mulch during the winter months.

When you receive your new Tithymaloides Nana plant, there is no need to worry about planting right away. Your new plant can be stored for a while by simply placing it in a bucket with about a half inch of water in the bottom and moving it to a shady location. You can then add some mulch to the bucket to keep your plant standing upright. The mulch will also supply nutrients while in storage. This will give you plenty of time to select the ideal location for your new plant.

CONTAINER SIZE

Tithymaloides Nanas grow very well in patio containers. Allow enough room for growth generally a 10″ to a 20″ diameter, 10″ deep container will suffice. Remember the looser the roots, the taller and healthier your plant will be. When the plant becomes root bound its growth will slow. At that point it is time for a larger pot.

SOIL

Tithymaloides Nanas enjoy well drained but moist, rich organic mix. Remember try to stay away from wet, mucky or dry, sandy soils.

FERTILIZER

To help establish your new Tithymaloides Nana Plant, fertilize sparingly at least 6 inches away from the base, tri-annually with a slow time release 15-5-10. Unfertilized they will tend to grow very slowly. Note: The heavy salts in cheaper fertilizers will damage the roots and possibly kill the tree.

GROW ZONE & LIGHT

Best outdoors if grown in zone 9b-11, find your zone here. This Plant requires 80-90% sunlight. Depending on your location filtered sun is best. At the northern end of their grow zone Tithymaloides Nana plants should be brought indoors or protected during the winter months. The patio zone is 4a-11 which means the potted plant will flourish over the summer months in colder zones but must be brought inside before harsh winter temps.

BEFORE YOU PLANT OUTDOORS

Here at Kens Nursery these Tithymaloides Nanas are grown under 20-40% shade cloth. If you plant directly in full sun you may experience leaf burn. It is best to acclimate this plant to its environment by keeping it outside and slowly moving it into a sunny area over a week or two to avoid stress before planting.

WHAT IS THE SHIPPING SIZE

All Tithymaloides Nana Plants for sale will vary in size. In the spring, Plants are often smaller than plants shipped in the fall. Plants designated with a sku ending in -4, or -3 will arrive in a standard 4 inch or 2.75 inch growers pot respectively. Kens new, reusable, recyclable deep cells are 5 to 7 inches deep and 1 to 2.5 inches in diameter.

DO YOU SHIP PLANTS ANY TIME OF THE YEAR?
 Sorry, no we don't.  Most of the plants offered are very tropical and require temperatures above 40º at all times. On occasion some orders may be delayed if the weather conditions in your area warrant that the shipment be held. This helps to ensure the survival of your new plant. During the winter months when we are no longer shipping plants, our growers spend their time researching new species and new growing techniques to provide you with the most unique and superior species of plants available anywhere.

HOW LARGE ARE THE POTS THE PLANTS COME IN?
