An impressive plant! First, a rosette of large, lance-shaped leaves grows. The flower stalks tower 2-2½m above it! Halfway up the stalks, hundreds of flowers begin to appear, blooming from bottom to top. The colour is pale pink, fading to white. Give them well-drained soil (e.g. a layer of gravel under the plants).

Sowing method: Throughout the year, in cocopeat, mixed with 1/4 silver sand. First, keep the sowing warm (25-30°C) for 4-5 weeks, then place it in the refrigerator for 2-3 months, and finally warm it up slowly. Sometimes the seedlings germinate in the refrigerator! A night outside when there's light night frost is also very beneficial.
