Propagation
Take soft tip cuttings of non-flowering shoots during late spring to early summer.

Culture
As a container plant it should be water every second day during summer and only once a week during winter. It prefers a humid atmosphere and may be placed in a saucer of water. Take care as misting may damage the foliage especially in full sun.
Re-pot during the second year of growth and if not trained as a trailing plant it may require staking.
