[GrowRR] Alcantarea

[Andrew Devonshire]

I am currently preparing an area for planting out Alcantarea imperialis, A
glaziouana, & A vinicolor. The area will also feature Viresea
philippo-coburgii.
Site is a sloping clay bank, with north western aspect. I plan to prepare
site over next couple of months, & add plants during our spring, say, late
September, early October.

My questions are:

1. Are the Alcantarea OK in large pots, or should they be planted out.
2. What is the best soil mix to use for growing Alcantarea.
3. Do Alcantarea repsond best to liquid feeding, or a slow release
fertiliser.
4. Will V philippo-coburgii need any different treatment.

Thanks,

Andy.
