Does Tropicanna need frequent watering?
Tropicanna is a tough plant and will cope with dry conditions, however with its broad fleshy leaves, Tropicanna does require frequent watering to perform at its best. It is especially important to keep plants grown in containers moist and well fed. If a container grown plant should dry out excessively, leaves may fade losing the array of mixed colorations. If this happens, cut the plants back and water, and once they begin to grow fertilize them. Watered regularly, the Tropicanna will respond by sending up new shoots complete with vibrant colors and flowers.
