Plant or parts of the plant are poisonous.

Water regularly and allow the soil to dry out in the meantime.

- Over time, the soil loses some important properties. The plants should therefore be transplanted every two years in spring into a larger pot with fresh container plant soil.
- This plant should be overwintered in a cool, dark place. The cellar or a shed close to a building is particularly suitable for this.

Planting: possible all year round (indoors).
