☀️ Placement, Sunlight, and Resilience

• Ideal Exposure: Thrives best in full sun to partial shade. A sunny spot is highly recommended, as maximum sunlight intensifies and maintains the rich reddish coloration of the leaves.

💧 Watering and Maintenance Instructions

Phormium 'Rubra Nana' is incredibly low-maintenance, perfect for busy plant lovers who want high visual impact with minimal effort:

• Watering: Moderate. Once fully established, it is remarkably drought-tolerant. Water regularly but without overdoing it during spring and summer—allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between sessions—and significantly reduce watering in winter.

• Soil & Drainage: Prefers any well-draining soil mix. It strictly dislikes heavy, waterlogged roots, so ensuring good drainage is key.

• Pruning: No regular pruning is required. Simply pull away or cut any old, dead, or damaged outer leaves at the base to keep the clump looking sharp and tidy.
