Cultivation

Exact hardiness unknown, probably to 25-28F. It thrives in cool, foggy subtropical-like climates free of hard freezes and long frosts. Summer heat above 90F may cause foliage die-back and temperatures above 100F can be lethal. Water regularly. Protect from heat and freezes. Grow in part-shade (full-shade in warmer areas).[2]

Propagation

Only known propagation is by cuttings, which are extremely difficult to root. Viability rates run from 0-15% of cuttings rooting[3].

It has been difficult to propagate, although cuttings taken during the active growing period root well if not given too much bottom heat[4].
