| Growing conditions and plant care. All Diplolaena require a well drained position with sun to semi shade, they prefer a climate that does not experience humid conditions as this encourages fungal disease. Grafted forms or Diplolaena are now becoming available, these perform much more satisfactorily in the home garden. |
