Nutrition
Nutrition is very important for plants. We recommend to provide this plant with a good nutritional soil by using high quality Mediterranean soil. We also recommend the addition of extra nutrients. Mediterranean nutrition tablets, you simply press them into the soil next to the plant. This ensures the supply of all necessary nutrients. The plant will then also retain its dark green leaf color.
Cutting
Pruning a Canna is simple. When a leaf begins to go dry, the reasonably thick branch near the stem should be cut off with, for example, a pair of secateurs. The Canna will automatically get new shoots that will grow into large leaves.
Our plant sizes are determined by measuring the smallest plants up until the largest in a field with hundreds of plants. Because a plant is a natural product, it's possible a plant is a little smaller than the mentioned minimum size.
This deviation is 10cm maximum. In our guidelines we keep a margin of max. 10cm regarding the minimum size.
Note: when you order a plant that doesn't stay green in the winter, it's probably (when ordered during the winter months or the beginning spring season) smaller than the minimum size. This is not a problem in any case, because the plant will grow new branches or leaves and the minimum height will be reached within a short period. Your order will have the right size within a short time.
