Care
- Excess water must be able to drain away easily and waterlogging should be avoided at all costs. - Over time, the soil loses some of its important properties. The plants should therefore be transplanted into a larger pot with fresh container plant soil every two years in spring. - This plant should be overwintered in a cool, dark place. The cellar or a shed close to a building is particularly suitable for this.
