Traditionally auriculas are grown and displayed in ‘long toms’: long narrow terracotta pots, however normal terracotta and plastic pots are also suitable. Auriculas are happy in most well-drained compost. Water your plants scarcely in autumn and winter, increasing in spring when flowers start to develop. Remove withered leaves regularly and re-pot in late spring/summer when necessary. Place a layer of gravel mulch around plants in winter to help avoid rot. Feed with simple tomato feed when flower buds appear to help promote flowering. See our growing guide below for more information.

Please note: although we securely package each individual plant, due to their fragile nature we cannot guarantee flower stems will not be broken during transit. This does not affect the future growth of the plant.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
