If kept indoors they do best in a position that is bright and no warmer than around 10°C. If kept outside, protect from frosts.
Watering
Water regularly, compost should be kept moist all year round, especially during the growing season.
Pruning
This species requires light pruning in mid summer, to maintain their shape.
Repotting
Repot when necessary. Check every couple of years.
