        species that offers no cultivation 
        difficulties.  Water regularly in summer (but do not over-water 
        ) Needs a large pot to accommodate a large root 
        system. Use a very draining and porous substrate;  
        keep rather dry in winter. It is 
        quite frost resistant if kept dry (hardy to  -5° C) 
        Outside full sun or afternoon shade, inside needs bright light, and some 
        direct sun.  
        
        Propagation: Propagate by seed 
        or shoots.
