Hi I am interesterd in your jacobean lilies and epiphylium also. I have sedum golden acreavailable. Please also look at my trade list and lewt me know if we can work out a trade. Thanks, Pat Here is a link that might be useful: my trade list

I find they're quite easy to deal with. If you expose the rhizomes just cut them leaving enough roots on each piece. They're very forgiving provided you don't stress them with too much direct sun and lack of water. Those rhizomes allow (for a fern) a bit of drought tolerance. In my garden I have several different types but one looks identical to yours. It flourishes in the wet season but completely dries out and loses all its fronds for about 4 months during the dry season. When the wet season returns it comes back with a vengeance. They are tough.

They can be tricky. They want water while in flower but once done flowering they like to dry out and go dormant. If you water while dormant you'll definitely shorten their life. They are also very susceptible to ink spot so it is generally recommended not to overhead water. Each fan only blooms once and it's recommended that the fans be cut back as far as possible after blooming is done without damaging the new fans. They want excellent drainage. Then there is the problem that they don't like excessive phosphorus and so many residential garden soils are overloaded with phosphorus from decades of ill conceived fertilization with 'balanced' 20-20-20 fertilizers.

I have found that Anigozanthos is quite long lived especially in neglected areas or areas that did not and do not receive wonderfully rich organic compost applications. That first photo is a commercial shopping center bed that was planted about a decade ago ( Hopmonk Brewery in Novato ) . It receives some commercial level maintenance attention but it is not lovingly cared for by a home gardener ( no disrespect to commercially cared for landscape companies) . The second image is of a residential project in Belvedere that was also planted about 10 years ago. It has not received 'attention to detail' maintenance over the years yet the Anigozanthos is doing well . The Leucadendron Jesters have not been adequately pruned and are out of scale now and looking rangey. I have some 'neglectful' areas in my own experimental home garden. Some of the kangaroo paws are going on 15 years old and still bloom despite the poor soil and infringing shade from the overhead oak trees . I believe that true to their native habitat that the Anigozanthos prefers lean soil fertility conditions and good drainage for it to be successful in the long run. Good gardening to you.
