General Maintenance: Repot in the spring if the plant has become quite root bound. These are usually propagated by dividing the plant when it’s being re-potted in spring.

Light: Needs bright light, but no direct sun. Direct sunlight can sunburn the leaves.

Soil: Use a fast-draining, peat-based potting mix.
