- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- Perennial (decades)
- Size
- 50-200cm
- Watering
- Minimal
- Light & Placement
- Prefers a sunny spot; outdoors, an airy sunny position. Indoors it grows well on a bright windowsill.
- Watering
- Water sparingly, about 1-2 times a month. Never let it stay wet; water only once the soil is fully dry.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Tolerates lows of about 5°C. In winter move it to a bright indoor window and cut watering further.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use an extremely well-draining mix. It grows large, so repot into a stable, heavier pot when it outgrows the old one.
- Propagation
- Propagate by cuttings or seed. Let the cut end of a stem dry for a few days before inserting it into soil, and water sparingly until rooted.
- Pests & Cautions
- It has spines along the ribs, so keep it out of walkways and places where people brush past. Wear thick gloves when repotting.
