Propagation
Divide established clumps during spring or while re-potting.

Culture
It may be difficult to grow and requires a minimum temperature of 15şC (60şF) with indirect bright light during both summer and winter.

Yellow leaf margins occur from cold temperatures.
Use tepid water in small amounts but regularly to maintain a moist but not wet composted soil mix and mist the leaves regularly to maintain humidity. Re-pot only as necessary during spring.
