Plants can be grown from seed. Sow seeds in plastic seed trays in autumn. Make sure the trays are adequately drained. Use a mixture of 2 parts sand, 1 part loam and 1 part compost. Sow the seeds on top of the surface and cover them with a 1mm layer of coarse river sand. If sown too deep the seeds will be smothered and will probably not germinate. Water with a fine mist spray every second day. Place seed trays in a sunny position. Plant the seedlings out when plants are strong enough to handle.

It can also be propagated from cuttings. Use new, soft material from a healthy bush. Take tip cuttings in autumn. Place cuttings in sand in multi plug trays. A rooting hormone can be added to promote root growth. Ensure that the cutting medium is kept moist. Cuttings can be hardened off for 2-3 weeks and can then be transplanted. Plants can be cultivated in pots or planted in groups in the garden in a well drained, sunny area. They can also be used in rockeries. Other succulents such as Gibbaeum, Lithops, Stomatium and other small succulents can be planted alongside to make an attractive display.
