need full sun to partial shade, with intermediate to warm temperatures. In the greenhouse, we use a soil mixture consisting of equal parts of loam and sand, with small gravel added to ensure good drainage. The plants should be watered thoroughly and allowed to dry before watering again. These plants will survive on neglect. Over-watering is the most common cause of plant failure. During the growing season, we water plants about every other month and no fertilizer is added. In the winter months, water is restricted to about once during this period.
