Croweas, if desired, can be grown as pot plants, using large pots. They can then be placed on verandahs and patios where they do quite well. As cut flowers, they are highly recommended and last well indoors. Flowers - usually in varying shades of pink, which range from very pale to dark and almost red. White forms also occur.
Flowers are five petalled, waxy and star shaped.
Propagation - seed is not easy to obtain and the usual method of reproduction is by cuttings. This vegetative method is easy and quick and also ensures plants coming true to type. The optimum time to take cuttings is early mid to late summer but spring and autumn cuttings should also yield good results. Cuttings taken thus should produce roots in six to eight weeks. Pruning - to improve the growth habit of croweas, plants should be tip pruned as they develop.
