Planting
From Early Spring TO Late Winter
Plant in good cactus compost, or a loamy compost with added sand, for drainage.
Propagating
From Early Spring TO Late Winter
Carefully remove side-shoots when they are large enough to handle, cutting them away from the parent plant. Make sure they have some root, and re-pot.
Flowering
From Late Spring TO Early Spring
Downward hanging flowers grow on spikes, and can be white, yellow, orange or red. They usually appear in Summer, but can be seen irregularly through the year.
