[Cultivation]
Propagate by division.
Grow it in a sunny, well-ventilated place.
In poor light, it flowers poorly.
Strong summer sun scorches the leaves, so in midsummer move it to partial shade or provide light shading.
Bring it indoors to a sunny spot in winter.
Plant it in sphagnum moss in an unglazed clay pot.
From spring to autumn, water when the surface of the planting material begins to dry; in winter, withhold water.
Place oil cake on the soil once a month from spring to early summer.
Pests include scale insects and aphids.
