Rhoeo spathacea var.
Rhoeo Dwarf (*Rhoeo spathacea* 'Dwarf') thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is an excellent ground cover or border plant, known for its colorful, compact foliage in shades of green and purple. Rhoeo Dwarf can also be used in containers, where its striking leaves add texture and color. Ensure the planting site has well-draining soil, as this plant is susceptible to root rot in overly wet conditions.
Rhoeo Dwarf prefers a warm, tropical to subtropical climate and grows best in temperatures between 15°C and 30°C. It is sensitive to frost, so it should be protected or grown indoors in cooler climates. In warm areas, Rhoeo Dwarf remains evergreen and adds color to the landscape year-round.
Plant Rhoeo Dwarf in well-draining soil. It adapts well to a range of soil types, from sandy to loamy, and prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Adding organic matter, such as compost, can improve soil quality and support healthy growth.
Feed Rhoeo Dwarf with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support vibrant foliage and compact growth. This plant typically requires minimal fertilising, but a light application of organic compost annually can help maintain its health and color.
