Propagation |
| Average warmth from spring to autumn - minimum 50 F in winter.Semi-shade or bright light. Some shade in summer may be necessary. Grow in standard cactus potting mix. |
Keep compost moist at all time. In winter water very infrequently, once every 1-2 months. No need to mist the leaves. |
Cuttings root easily. Take stem cuttings, offsets or leaf cuttings in spring or summer. It is vital to let the cuttings dry for a few days before inserting in compost. Water very sparingly and do not cover with polythene or glass. Another propagation method is seed sowing - germination temperature 61-66 F (16-19 C). |
