These are rainforest plants, so they need heat and humidity. They will not tolerate cold temperatures outdoors, but you can grow them in containers indoors if they get enough sun and are watered often. Outdoors, it will die if there is frost. If the temperature drops to 50 degrees, this can harm the plant, and you will need to bring it inside. Because of its rainforest origins, the soil should be kept moist to duplicate those conditions. It needs to be watered often if you don’t get much rainfall. It is helpful to place a 2″ layer of mulch around the lobster claw plant’s base to help hold moisture in the soil. They are not drought-tolerant. They are also not salt-tolerant, so they should not be planted near the ocean. If this plant doesn’t get enough water, the leaves will turn brown. In the winter, water them with tepid water. Gar-Zen Botanical Designs is located in South Florida and is a Black and Minority women owned business.
