Cultivation:
Easy to grow it need regular water but do not water again until dry.
Also, it is a species that is dormant in the winter and require very
little water (maybe even none) during the cold months.
Frost Tolerance: Light frost protection
required. Minimum of 5ºC for safe growing (but hardy up to -5°C or
less.)
Sun Exposure: Requires light shade to bright light (protect
from strong
midday sun).
In shade the body colour will remain mostly green, while full sun will
darkena bit. Can be sunburned if moved from shade/greenhouse into full
sun too quickly. The amount of sunlight it can withstand without
scorching depends upon the how hot it becomes in the summer in the
locale in which it is planted. During the spring it may be able to
take full sun until the heat arrives at the end of spring. In an area
that has hot afternoon sun, it may be able to take full morning sun, but
requires afternoon shade or afternoon light shade.
Offsets readily. Needs a deep pot to
accommodate the long, thick, contractile roots.
Propagation:
Offsets that appear at the base
between the leaves;
leave them attached to form a cluster, or wait until they are 1/3 the
size of the parent and then detach and plant.
