Propagation

Propagate by seed, sown in darkness as soon as ripe. Can be beneficial to soak seed for 10 hours then rinse, prior to sowing

Growing

Grow indoors in a mix of equal parts loam, leaf mould, peat substitute and sharp sand, in bright, filtered light with moderate humidity. May be placed outdoors for autumn colour but will not tolerate temperatures below around 10°C. Water moderately when in growth (avoiding the crown) but reduce water as the leaves fade, and keep dry when dormant. Apply a low-nitrogen liquid fertiliser every two months when in full leaf
