Cultivation:
This plant is easy to cultivate in a well
drained and
mineral substratum and avoid the use of
peat or other
humus sources in the
potting mixture.
Pot plants are quite
wet-sensitively, especially in light of its small root
system (Do not over-water).
Water regularly during
the
growing season, let soil dry in between to prevent root rot, keep dry in
winter.
It need medium
sun exposure.
Usually it is recommended to
overwinter this plant in a bright and warm greenhouse with at least
8-10° C , but it proved to be quite
frost resistant
(if kept dry it hardy as low as -7° C)
A resting period in winter and strong light are necessary so that it can
flower properly. Plants will offset readily, and
dense clumps can be produced in a very few years. Feed
with a high potassium fertilizer in summer.
Propagation: Through
cuttings.
