Veltheimia capensis is more of an arid climate plant than V bracteata. V
bracteata enjoys some shade for me but I give V capensis as hot a position
as I can given my climate in England, with a dry summer dormancy.
nutrient deficiencies are sometimes caused by an excess of a particular
mineral or food, which blocks other nutrients.

Peter, I am inthe equivalent of Zone 10a here in Auckland, and
Veltheimia do very well here. They thrive. I carefully planted my
original one in part shade, but a seedling cameup in the full sun part
of the garden, some years ago, this year had 3 flower heads, so is
thriving too.
