GROWING TIPS
This plant is extremly resistent and very easy to cultivate. It can be grown both in very hot and dry environments and in cold conditions. It is so resistant, that it is virtually impossible to kill it, even for a complete beginner. We had one plant which was left without watering for over two months in summer and it had not suffered at all. Another one was left in semi-dark area and watered profusely, and it also did not show any negative signs. This implies that the plant would do well in indoor conditions (as a indoor winter plant, for instance).
