Propagation
Take cuttings during spring and placed on a misting bench with bottom heat.

Divide established clumps during spring.

Culture
This plant suffers if the air is too dry or if there is too much light causing the leaves shrivelling. Wilting, yellowing leaves are normally a result of over-watering. It prefers temperatures above 15şC (59şF).
