CHARACTERISTICS:
Warneckei are sold both in short bushy and tall cane forms. They grow slow so try to get the height you want right off the bat. Brown and yellow edges on the new growth usually signals that the plant's soil is too moist. Solid yellow or brown lower leaves signal dehydration. Water heavier or more frequently.
PRUNING:
Remove whole leaves if they become spotted. Either cut the leaf at the stalk, or gently pull off the whole leaf. Periodically these plants will develop black tips on the end of the leaf. Trim off to the natural shape of the leaf. To maintain height, remove the center new growth, they can also be cut down to any desired height. Several new heads will pop out within about two months.
