Some types need a 6 week cooling period at 45 degrees while others bloom without it. Flowering occurs 30 to 60 days after exposure to warmer temperatures. Ideal temperatures are 60 to 65 degrees during the day and 55 to 60 degrees at night. Pruning or repotting is done when the flowers fade. Failure to bloom may be due to poor light.
Propagation is by cuttings or grafting but both methods are difficult.
