Light and substrate

Collector observation

This is a small plant. The author recommends protection from strong afternoon sun and a mix of about 80% mineral/20% organic components for young plants. Water after drying, without excessively drying small, active plants in hot weather. [Zychowski 2005, file p. 3, 4]

Sowing and overwintering

Collector observation

Very fine seeds are placed on the surface of moist substrate at room temperature. Germination took about 3 weeks in the account. The Polish discussion recommends at least 10°C in winter and no watering during leafless dormancy. [Zychowski 2005, file p. 3, 4]
