Propagation
Soft tip cuttings of non-flowering shoots during late spring and semi hardwood cuttings taken during late summer.

Botanic information
Leaf: The sessile dark green leaves are linear to obovate and the recurved margins give the leaf a terete appearance. The apex is pointed and the texture is stiff and leathery.

Flower: The tubulate flowers are surrounded by persistent brown bracts with 5-expanding pointed petals and exserted stamens. The floral tube is pubescent and the flowers are arranged in an axillary cluster. They appear profusely throughout winter.

Fruit: The tiny capsule is enclosed in the persistent floral tube. The small seeds are viable but the plant is normally reproduced vegetatively.
