Grow under glass in an open, free draining, slightly acidic potting mix, in bright filtered light. Do not overpot, these plants often perform better with slightly restricted roots. Maintain temperatures between 7°C and 24°C. Water thoroughly in the growing season, preferably with rainwater, allowing compost to almost dry between waterings. Feed in spring, using a half-strength liquid solution in two feeds a few weeks apart. Red tinting on the leaves in winter may be a sign of cold, move the plant to a warmer place.
Pinch out to maintain compact growth while the plant is young; this may affect flowering in the early stages but will improve it later on. Pruning is not usually required but if necessary, should be done in stages to allow the plant to recover
