Howdy Again,
From my references the general info for Orthrosanthos (I don't have your
specific species as i said) is as follows.....
Cultivation :
Plant in moist, well drained soil in sun or part shade. Light frosts are
tolerated, but Orthrosanthus species are best grown in a mild, frost free
climate. They are often short lived. Propagate from seed or by division
of the rhizomes in late winter.
I hope thats of some help.
Cheers. Paul Tyerman (Australia)
