The species is easily propagated from cuttings throughout the year but in colder climates it should preferably be done in spring or summer. Soft tip cuttings root rapidly in sand (1 to 3 weeks). Herbaceous, older material can also be used with great effect, but rooting is slower (about 2 to 4 weeks). The plant roots rapidly in clean sand, or mixtures of peat and sand; it grows very easily and thrives as a pot plant. Plants can be fed with a balanced organic fertilizer. Maintain a neat plant by pruning it hard after flowering in late autumn. It is best used in highveld and bushveld gardens on sunny rockeries in areas where frost is not severe. It also grows well in the Western Cape but should preferably be watered during the summer. Companion plants include Crassula, Cotyledon, Delosperma and Haworthia . It is fairly pest free.
