Deppea Splendens 4" pot

Sold Out $20.00

Golden Fuchsia, Deppia splendens. Believed to be extinct in the wild, the flowers that delicately hang along the lilting branches of this rare deppea are just delightful.

This is a difficult plant to get ahold of and we want it to reach higher circulation so we are offering this plant at a fantastic price.

Since this gorgeous rarity is native to the cloud forests of Mexico, it won't tolerate extremes in temperatures.

(Rubiaceae) Syn: Csapodya splendens.

Light: Part shade

Water: Moist, but make sure that it isn't sitting in water. Likes light, well-drained soil whether it is in the ground or grown in a pot.

Soil: Light mix with plenty of organic matter

Fertilizer: Slow release fertilizer for acid-loving plants (such as is sold for Rhododendrons)
