General care

  • Light: Bright position, with protection from intense sun and gradual acclimatisation.
  • Watering: Water during growth and let dry between waterings. Reduce greatly in cold weather or dormancy.
  • Compost: Airy, free-draining mix; avoid compact mixes that remain damp.
  • Temperature: Protect from cold and persistent rain while maintaining airflow.
  • Maintenance: Check the stem bases, remove dry parts and avoid standing water in the pot.
