It is an absolute botanical rarity, originally from the vast, sun-drenched plateaus and valleys of Central America.

In late autumn, before the first frost, simply cut it back thoroughly and place the pot in a cool, frost-free place (for example, in an unheated stairwell, cellar, or garage). Water very sparingly during the cold season so that the root ball does not dry out completely.

The substrate should be permeable; too many nutrients (especially nitrogen) lead to gigantic leaf growth at the expense of flower and fruit formation.
