- To keep it humid place the pot in a saucer filled with clay marbles that are kept wet.
- Water it regularly, as soon as the surface of the soil becomes dry and feed it using a fertiliser for acid loving plants every fortnight during the spring and summer.
- Re-potting it every two years into a slightly larger pot will help it properly develop.
- Finally cut back the stems after flowering to give it a rounded compact form.
