Cultivation is not too difficult in a greenhouse, although the plant grows quite slowly. The plant needs a loose, well-drained mineral soil, and a good amount of light. Watering can be done weekly during the summertime, if the weather is sunny enough, with a little fertilizer added. Kept this way, plants will show a healthy, although slow growth. They are frost hardy to -4° (-10°) C

Propagation: By seeds.
