relatively easy to grow. It is sometime seen as a grafted plant but
grows very well on its own roots too. Use mineral well permeable

centigrade. (but it is Hardy to -7°C for short
periods) In the rest period no high atmospheric humidity!!
Sun Exposure: Light shade to full sun.
Propagation: By seed, but
plants are commonly grafted onto column-shaped cacti.
