Where the larger specimens already show a clear trunk, this size is still nicely compact: the leaves start just above the pot and together form a perfect sphere. That gives it a clean, graphic look, and it also fits in places where a large tree would be too much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 110 cm this is a handy size for the patio, the balcony or a small city garden. Place it in a large pot next to the front door, as an eye-catcher in a gravel garden or in a row along the path. Combine it with grasses, lavender or other \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/grienbubble.com\/en-at\/collections\/mediterranean-plants\"\u003eMediterranean plants\u003c\/a\u003e for a southern atmosphere.

Plant it in sandy, well-draining soil or give it a roomy pot with a generous drainage layer of gravel or clay pebbles. With this compact size in particular, a pot on the patio is a great choice; among our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/grienbubble.com\/en-at\/collections\/outside-pots-in-baskets\"\u003eoutdoor pots and baskets\u003c\/a\u003e you will find a model sturdy enough for its full crown. Preferably use potting soil for cacti or Mediterranean plants, mixed with some extra sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt hardly needs feeding: an organic garden fertiliser in spring is enough. Now and then remove a dried leaf at the bottom with sharp scissors to keep the sphere neat. The Dasylirion copes well with cold as long as the soil stays dry. If it is in a pot, place it on pot feet in winter and preferably under a canopy or against a sheltered wall. In severe frost you can temporarily cover the crown with garden fleece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWater needs of the Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 110 cm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drought lover needs little water. During the growing season, water about once or twice a week, and only when the soil is properly dry. A plant in a pot dries out faster than one in the ground, so check the pot a little more often in warm spells. In winter it needs hardly any water. Never let water stand in the saucer, because wet roots are the biggest risk for this plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLight needs of the Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 110 cm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it the sunniest spot you have, ideally facing south or west. In full sun the leaf sphere stays compact and the leaves get their beautiful blue-green colour. It also grows in partial shade, but a bit more slowly and less full.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs the Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 110 cm toxic?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dasylirion Longissimum is mildly toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and young children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow is my Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 110 cm shipped?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour plant is delivered in a nursery pot and carefully packed for shipping.
