栽培：全日照通風環境下可生長良好。炎夏時切勿讓植株曝曬，以免產生日燒等曬傷跡象。為了防止爛根等情形，需採用排水透氣的介質。冬季時植株進入冬眠期，生長緩慢，可移至室內明亮處，控制澆水。成株常會長出側芽，可以分株繁殖。

The species thrives in full sun and airy conditions. Don’t expose the plant to strong sunlight during high summers to avoid signs of sun scorch such as sunburn. Better planted in draining and breathable soil to avoid rotten roots. The plant goes hibernation and grows slowly in winter, advised to move it to a bright indoor location and control watering. Adult plants often produce lateral buds that can be reproduced separately.
