Germination

Sow indoors year round. Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Just cover seed with a sprinkling of soil. Ideal temp. 19-21°C. Germination takes 21-30 days approx. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to individual pots and grow on.

Growing

Prefers a light soil in a warm, bright conservatory or greenhouse. Allow plant to dry slightly between waterings. Fertilise during the growing season. In winter water lightly. If grown inside cut back hard after flowering. Can be tried outside in a warm, sheltered location but must be brought inside, above 5°C for winter.

Cultivation
