Rhizomes should be planted as soon as possible after you receive them. It is usually best to plant them in a pot, then after they are established, plant them in their final position in the garden.
The rhizome should be planted with the top (leaf stem/new shoots/buds pointing upwards)
Heliconia thrive in rich, well-draining soil.
Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day ,to encourage continuous flowering. Lower amounts of sunlight would result in the production of lush foliage.
Heliconias love water. They should be watered as often as possible. The soil should never be allowed to dry out completely.
Bonemeal is an ideal choice if one desires to make their Heliconia reach huge dimensions.
Check your zone for planting requirements!
