Plant Faqs

How often should I water my Scarlet Belle? Keep the soil constantly moist by placing the container in a tray of distilled or rainwater. Does this plant need fertilizer?

Root Look

Fine, hair-like root system typical of bog plants, not fleshy or tuberous.

Dark, damp peat-based substrate or living sphagnum moss.
