It has a warm, humid, semi-shaded environment. It has strong adaptability, drought resistance and cold resistance. Fertile soil rich in organic matter. It is best grown in warm, humid air and strong indirect light. There is no soil preference; it will grow better in loose sandy loam. It is generally suitable for growing under moderate light conditions, and also tolerates weak light. The growth temperature is 15-25°C, and the overwintering temperature is 5°C.

It can be propagated by cuttings. The branches and vines root very easily. They can be cut in spring and autumn, with half buried in sand or loose soil. Keep them moist rather than wet. They will root and grow quickly (in spring and autumn, about half a month; in winter and summer they do not root easily, the pot is uneven, long and leggy, and this measure can be used to improve it). It can be propagated by division. Except when low winter temperatures make division unsuitable, it can be done in other seasons. Potted plants grown for 2 to 3 years, when repotted in spring, have the clustered shoots separated, the old growing soil removed, and divided into two to several clumps, each becoming a new potted line.
