Description	Graptophyllum excelsum needs be to grown in full sun to very light shade for best flowering, although I have seen some healthy little shrubs growing in amongst the gum trees. Flowers will be more sporadic in shade. In very hot area’s it would be wise to give it some shade during the hottest parts of the day.For best growth, grow caricature plant in partial sun and fertile, moist, well-drained soil. It is moderately drought tolerant but will quickly wilt during dry periods if it’s not well established or it’s planted in sandy soil. Pinch the branch tips back to promote fuller branching and a bushier plant. Where hardy, this is an alluring shrub for the mixed border, building foundations, hedgerows or patio containers. In colder climates, it can be grown in a sunroom or well-lit conservatory and brought outdoors in summer.
