RE: Kangaroo Paws - the flowers jump out at you.

in #anigozanthus6 years ago

I think these plants are very suitable for creating bouquets. The second, the popular name of Anigosanthus - "kangaroo paw", precisely describes the shape of the tender inflorescence. In cut form, flowering shoots can stand in the vase for about three weeks, and dried "kangaroo feet" persist for a long time, so floral souvenirs and Ikebans with Anigosanthus are very popular among tourists in Australia.
There are more than 12 species of this plant. Of these, only some are cultivated in indoor floriculture. These are the so-called "dwarf" Anigosanthos, reaching a height of not more than 60 cm. The plant does not like frequent transplants, therefore they are made only with the growth of the root system. And the Anigosanthos grow very slowly. Excessive soil fertilization is undesirable for them: they are fertilized only during the active vegetation period once a month, in the winter it is better to abstain from adding supplementary food. Thank you for the information.
