After flowering the spike can be cut down, if it is healthy, by two nodes (below the top two spent blooms) to produce further flowers. Do not allow these plants to dry out for long. Allow excess water to drain away.
Softwood cuttings
Propagate by seed in spring at 15ºC to 18ºC, or by softwood cuttings.
