Rex is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors.It does not seem to reqire a particular soil type, but it must not be kept too wet in the winter or it may rot. It prefers a sheltered spot out of the wind to preserve it beautiful leaves. If there is frost it will loose its leaves in winter but can stay more or less evergreen if it does not get too cold in a sheltered spot. It should regrow in the spring if the roots are well protected
Rex is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside - as a guideline, the minimum temperature outside should be approximately -5°C / 23°F.Rice paper plant
