Their dark and brooding colour and long whisker-like attachments are quite unlike anything else you may have seen and they are bound to excite lots of curiosity.Garden Care: Add slow release fertiliser to the compost and water freely all through the year. In summer, mist regularly with water and once a month add some half-strength foliar feed. Pot on every 2 to 3 years and keep it above 13C at all times.
