It is sometimes grown as a hothouse container plant. It does not have a rest period unless water is withheld. It propagates by producing offsets and seed.

The pollinator is a moth with a very long proboscis. Flowers are white with narrow tepals and long teeth along the margin of the staminal corona.[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/358309#page/302/mode/1up Linnaeus, Carl von. 1753. Species Plantarum 1: 290]
