The large glossy foliage lends a nice textural contrast to any shade garden. Mix in with shade-loving plants such as Ferns, Bromeliads, Alocasias and Cordylines. Keep soil moist, do not let it dry out completely. Feed with a slow-release 14-14-14 granular fertilizer every three months. Protect from cold, dry winds in winter.
