Grow well in light gritty soil with a very liberal drainage.
They prefer light shade rather than full sun, although stems may not colour up under shady conditions.
These plants require moderate watering. Allow the soil to completely dry out between waterings. Over-watering can lead to root rot, so it’s essential to ensure good drainage.
Feed sparingly during the growing season. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength.
Watch out for pests like mealybugs and take precautions against snails and slugs.
