What do I do to have a happy Phormium? I've wintered it over, gotten rid of it's extensive mealy bug population, and now I'm thinking of putting it in a big pot with some chartreuse sweet potato and maybe begonia. It seems to be very thirsty. Is it a water lover through the summer, like a rainy season? And then a drier winter? I got it clearance last fall, so I'm very pleased to have it, and would like to see it thrive :).

New Zealand Flax, Dark Delight (but needing more sun)
