Propagation can be done through division of the rhizomes. This is best done during the plant's dormancy period. Carefully separate the rhizomes and plant them in fresh soil.Pruning
Pruning is required to remove dead or damaged leaves and to maintain the plant's shape. Prune after the flowering period to encourage new growth.Toxicity
