Experienced grower's notes on Panda Plant

I've been growing plants seriously for over fifteen years and Panda Plant remains a reliable favourite. For anyone starting out: the most critical thing is providing at least six hours of bright indirect light. Everything else follows from that.

mealybug infestations in leaf crevices is the challenge that trips up most beginners and some experienced growers too. I've been growing mine in a vertical living wall frame for three seasons now and the results are consistently good. wide range of colours from blue-grey to red is what makes it worth coming back to year after year. new offsets appearing around the base in spring is when I show it off — it earns its place fully then.
