| Propagation |
| Once the plant has flowered the mother plant will begin to produce pups - rather than grow it's leaves any further. These offsets are removed and used to create new plants, by cutting them off as close to the main plant as possible, usually when they begin to grow roots or they're about a third of the size of the mother plant. |
