Cultivation: it is
easy to grow and recommended for beginners. Prefer gritty, porous mix
with a pH slightly on the acidic side. Full sun to light shade, Water
regularly in summer but do not overwater (the root system is rot prone)
and allow the pot to dry out between waterings. Keep dry in winter Hardy
to -4°C it will take low temperatures when dry and do require a winter
rest period.
Pest and disease: This plants are subject to mealy-bug attack and
to fungus and rot problems brought about by overwatering and high
humidity.
Note: It would appear that
in cultivation they grow larger and cluster more vigorously than in
habitat.
Propagation: seed or offsets. |
