    You could start here but it will depend on whether you are in an apartment or have an outdoor garden. I see in your introduction post you are in India. You'll be growing it outside I assume?

    We have been growing these forever just in the ground or a huge container. It requires a loose type growing medium. Right now my wife has one plant cluster in a container under a palm tree. Last year I discovered about twelve small new plants in between the undergrowth around the container, germinated from seed that dropped there from the main plant.
    So that is another windfall from growing outside. Very easy plants to take care of.
    Good luck!

    It is a Sun loving terrestrial. Can grow in a terrestrial mix ( river sand + compost ). It has to be a fast draining media and should not stagnate water. It loves full sun and can grow nicely in Hot and Humid Chennai.

    You can plant now and it grows and blooms like a weed. It can bloom all year around but mostly peak summers
