How to grow Fatshedera lizei in NZ

Fatshedera lizei grows best in partial shade to full shade and in moist, well-drained soil. It thrives in cool, sheltered spots and will tolerate light frost. Water regularly during establishment, then moderately once established. It can be trained up trellises, grown as ground cover, or left as a shrub. Avoid harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch and maintain rich, glossy foliage.
