It is a pretty little shrubby greenhouse climber, well 
adapted for training over ornamental wirework fastened to 
the pot, and like most of the plants belonging to Asclepiads, 
it reguires a rich loamy soil and plenty of moisture during 
the growing season. Afterwards, when done flowering, it 
should be allowed a time of rest, by gradually withholding 
moisture until the soil in the pots becomes tolerably dry, when 
the plant should be placed in the warmest and driest part of 
the greenhouse until the following spring. At that season 
the plants should be fresh potted, cut back freely, and placed 
in a gentle moist heat for a few weeks. 
It is easily increased by cuttings, and flowers the greater 
part of summer and autumn.
