Farfugium 'Leopard Plant': Giganteum

Farfugium thrives in partial shade to full shade conditions, preferring dappled sunlight or filtered light. The ideal placement is an area that receives shade throughout the day or at least only a few hours of direct sun.

 

Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves, leading to wilting and burns. 

Farfugium grows by rivers and streams in its native habitat, so these plants require consistently moist, but well-draining soil.

 

Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, avoiding both waterlogging and prolonged dryness. While they prefer moist conditions, it's crucial to prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot. 

 

Water more frequently during active growth and hot summer months, and less often in cooler winter periods.  

We suggest Espoma Plant Tone.
