General Maintenance: Can be repotted once a year, preferably around spring, when new roots start to emerge. Roots will grow higher on the plant each year. Simply cover the base of your plant with moss or peat and new roots will emerge. If you are repotting your plant, you can cut the roots down so your plant remains level in your pot. This plant can be propagated by division when repotting.
