This species is not the easiest to cultivate, requiring the maximum amount of sun and care with watering, as it can easily rot. Keep this plant dry in winter at a minimum temperature of 0°C (but it is hardy as low as -10° C). It prefers a very draining mineral compost, and does better with some limestone in the soil mixture. The plant tolerates extremely bright situations, but enjoy some shade during the hottest part of the day in summer.
