Propagation
Take a soft tip or stem cuttings during spring and apply rooting hormone to the base and apply bottom heat. Cuttings may also form roots in water only.

Culture
Mist leaves regularly to maintain humidity. If grown in a container apply liquid fertiliser monthly during the growing period.
The flowers are insignificant and are normally removed to postpone the dormant period.

If grown indoors it requires a well-lit position with no draughts and temperature range of 18ş to 28ş C.
