The temperature is best controlled between 20-30 degrees. It is not cold-tolerant and should be moved indoors in winter. Also, pay attention to watering. It is drought tolerant and does not require too much diligence. It is recommended to water again when it is dry to avoid water accumulation and root rot.

1. Breeding method
