Propagation by cuttings
From Early Spring TO Late Summer
Eventually, even the healthiest of these plants will succumb to old age, and if you have more young plants to take its place, you will never have to be without. Cut the long stems into pieces with at least one leaf node on it, and taking a clump of about four or five stems, insert them into the center of a prepared pot of soil. The soil should be sterilized potting soil, preferably peat based, with the addition of about 50% perlite or pumice. You can use a rooting hormone such as Stimroot #2, or similar, and then cover the whole pot with a cloche or jam jar.
planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
It requires excellent drainage, should be watered only when dry, and should never stand in water. Excess water should be removed from plant saucer after watering. It can be grown outdoors only in subtropical and tropical areas, with a minimum temperature of 15 °C. Partial shading is useful when the plant is grown outdoors.
