Cultivation is not too difficult in a
greenhouse, although grows
quite slowly. The plants need a loose well-drained
mineral soil. They need a good amount of
light.
Watering can be done weekly during
summertime, if the weather is
sunny enough, with a little
fertilizer added. Kept this way, plants will
show a
healthy, although slow
growth. They are
frost hardy to -4°
(-10°) C
Propagation:
By
seeds, remembering that
seedlings dislike strong
light and
dry conditions and need to be
repotted frequently. Eventually, as they become mature, they
attain a maximum size of 8-10 cm (20) cm. Repot the seedlings
regularly every 1-2 years, but after they reach 10 cm in
diameter grow them slowly, and adopt a new repotting period, using
intervals of every 2 - 4 years. Additionally grow them under drier
conditions or with stronger sunlight. But plants are often
grafted to accelerate growth as they would generally take at
least a five years to reach
maturity on their own, but the grafted plants are typical rather
tall growing, compared with plants on their own roots that are
usually more flat to the
ground.
