Edithcolea grandis is relatively easy to grow if protected against frost. Ample water should be given during hot weather.
The flowers of Edithcolea grandis are exceptionally beautiful.
Similar to other members of the family the stems sometimes rot. Fortunately new roots easily appear on the secondary stems that crawl on the soil surface.
