Watering needs: Needs regular water in spring to fall but do not water again until dry. Also, it is a species that is dormant in the winter and requires very little water (maybe even none) during the cold months.
Frost tolerance: Light frost protection required. Minimum of 5ºC for safe growing. Requires to be kept below 7°C in winter to flower well in the spring.
Sun exposure: Requires bright light (protect from strong midday sun). In shade the body color will remain mostly green, while full sun will darken it and give it red/brown body color.
