CULTIVATION is fairly easy using a well drained compost and grown in full light. The larger the plant gets the more it needs good air circulation to prevent damping off. The use of slow release fertiliser keeps the plant compact and healthy. Water in the growing season , when dry, from the base using a plant saucer. In the winter reduce water to a minimum just to keep the roots from drying out. Minimum winter temperature of 5ºC with good light is recommended.
Re pot every year using a gritty well drained compost with the slow release fertiliser added.
PROPAGATION is easy from offsets or leaves taken in the summer. They can be slow to take so use a very well drained seed type of compost. It is also possible to grow from seed from the plant.
