Kangaroo paws are naturally hardy plants, but they require some basic necessities for proper growth and flowering. Ensuring they are met will keep your plants healthy throughout the season.
Full Sun:
For brilliant and long-lasting blooms, place your kangaroo paw in an area with a lot of direct sunlight. In order for your plants to grow and flower properly, they need at least six hours of direct sun each day.
Remember, they can tolerate even the hottest and most intense sunlight.
Average Sandy Soil:
In the wild, the kangaroo paw plant grows in nutrient-poor and sandy soils. For container-grown plants, find an average organic potting soil and amend it with a few cups of regular play sand. This will simulate the plant's natural setting and also provide sufficient nutrition for the entire season.
