Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Mid Summer

In temperate zones where winter temperatures fall below 5C, is will not survive outdoors and should be grown as a container plant which can be brought in for winter protection. If grown as a container plant, provide as much light as possible, in front of a a south facing window is ideal. It should not be heated in winter as long as there is no risk of temperatures falling below 5C. In warmer climates, plant out in full sun in well drained soil avoiding wall or house foundations.

 

Propagation

From Early Spring TO Early Summer

Propagate by removing and potting up offsets which grow from the base of the trunk.
