What is Heliconia angusta - Red Christmas?

Heliconia angusta, commonly known as Red Christmas, is a dazzling tropical species cherished for its festive red and white floral bracts.

How to Care for Heliconia angusta

For optimal growth, plant Heliconia angusta in nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. Maintain consistent humidity and water regularly, ensuring excess water is drained to prevent root rot. During the growing season, apply a balanced liquid fertiliser to encourage lush foliage and vibrant blooms.
