Natal Mahogany Cultural information: This recently introduced plant thrives
indoors in either high light or low light. If you like to over water... this plant is for
you.
Even though the growers say this plant will do well in low light... we feel that for
optimum growth the plant should be placed in bright indirect natural light. This
plant can consume lots of water. Our best advice is to check for water daily until
you become familiar with the plants watering needs. Water very thoroughly
allowing water to run into the drip tray. A small amount of water left in the drip
tray will be re-consumed by the plant. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid
fertilizer. Stem cuttings are difficult to propagate.
