Plantcare
The Nematanthus strigillosus is easy to care for. This exotic plant likes a light spot or one in half
shadow. The Nematanthus strigillosus needs a less than average amount of water: better too little
than too much. Too much permanent moisture near the roots can be really bad for the plant. The
Nematanthus strigillosus is not winter-hardy and must always be kept at 10° Celsius [50°F] or more.
The soil of the Nematanthus strigillosus must be properly permeable.
