Rhodohypoxis ‘White’

How to grow Rhodohypoxis ‘White’ in NZ

How to grow Rhodohypoxis ‘White’ in NZ begins with choosing a sunny or partly sunny position with excellent drainage. This variety performs best in raised beds, troughs, and containers where water can drain away freely. Use a gritty, free draining mix and water regularly during active growth, taking care not to saturate the soil. In regions with heavy winter rain, move pots under cover or ensure very sharp drainage to protect the bulbs.

Rhodohypoxis ‘White’ care tips

Rhodohypoxis ‘White’ care tips focus on managing moisture and supporting seasonal growth. Water consistently in spring and summer to encourage strong flowering, then reduce watering as the plant enters winter dormancy. Feed lightly in early spring with a balanced fertiliser to promote healthy foliage and buds. Remove spent blooms and old foliage to keep clumps tidy. In wet or cold areas protect containers from excessive winter moisture to prevent bulb damage.
