Keep dry in winter. Hardy down to -4°C.
It is better that they be repotted regularly. Repotting is best done at the end of winter, but it can be done at other time, too. Do not water for a couple of weeks after repotting, in order to reduce risk of root rot via broken roots.
Propagation:: Cuttings or grafting.
