Propagation
Sow fresh seed during spring and maintain a temperature of 16ş to 18ş C. (61ş to 64ş F).

Take soft tip cuttings of non-flowering shoots during spring and semi hardwood cuttings during summer.

Note:
Care should be taken as contact with the leaves may cause skin irritation.
May require the crown thinning to reduce toppling in windy weather causing root damage.
