Habit: A beautiful foliage herb, this rather slow growing sub tropical herb is well worth waiting for. It develops into well-rounded bush with variegated leaves, some having fine speckles and others white or flushed pink or red. Most successful in light shade but will grow in sun or deep shade, needs to be well protected in all but sub-tropical climates. It stands up well to coastal winds. Herbs have a lot going for them. A feature of most of these attractive herbs is the way their leaves open light browns, pinks and reds before turning green. And, in addition to shiny leaves they produce masses of white flowers in trusses, which are followed in autumn by striking orange-red fruits. Unlike most herbs this little beauty can withstand cold and even a slight degree of frost but does best in warm places, and is particularly successful in sub-tropical and coastal areas. Grown out of doors this palm develops a more compact habit than when grown indoors.
Planting: Slow growers, but growth may be hastened by giving young plant a large hole, 95cm square, or more, and in it include at least one third compost with soil. Add also cupful each of 5:3:2 fertilizer and bone sulphate. All but very large plants transplant easily.
Feeding and watering: Extra feeding not necessary, but inland must be well watered. At coast, because of humidity, is fairly drought resistant. When paving driveways, walkways or any other areas in the garden, for planting herbs always remember to leave ample openings for the placing of trees and plants and certainly for the watering of existing plants. With brickwork it is wise not to cement between bricks, in order to allow natural drainage. Keep spray equipment clean at all times – especially after using weed killers and poisons of any kind. Residue left in your sprayer could kill your plants when next you use it. Chemicals can also corrode parts. Always pump water through pipes and nozzle.
Feeding and watering: Responds well to regular feeds of diluted liquid food during growing months. Out of doors should never be allowed to dry out, but indoors guard against over-watering which causes the tips of the leaves to go brown, with the roots eventually rotting.

Versatile, excellent form plant; ideal for border and as filler for those gaps – shape and texture contrast well with other plants. Fine tub subject for indoors and outdoors on patios, fine garden specimen with ground cover around it.
