Propagation

Stem cuttings in the summer. It is best to propagate any type of cuttings in a mixture of moist peat and perlite. Cover the pot and plant with a plastic bag secured by a rubber band to prevent the moisture from escaping. Place in indirect sunlight or under a fluorescent light. Repot in its regular mix after it has been growing for a while.

Should be allowed to dry out between waterings. Although the plant enjoys some moisture, it should not be kept too wet, which may lead to root rot. It prefers temperatures between 60 ºF and 75 ºF but can tolerate a wider range, if necessary. Requires humid conditions, especially during dry winter months. Mist the plant daily or place its container on a tray filled with pebbles and water for optimal growth. Can be fertilized monthly with a balanced fertilizer.
