With a minimum temperature of 15 °C (59 °F), in temperate regions it must be grown under glass or as a houseplant. It prefers indirect or filtered sunlight but will also tolerate lower light conditions. Similarly high humidity is ideal but it will manage with less.[6]

More than a dozen hybrid cultivars of P. erubescens can commonly be found in cultivation, including 'Black Cardinal', 'Birkin' , 'Burgundy' , 'Green Emerald', 'Green Princess', 'Imperial Green', 'Imperial Red', 'McColley’s Finale', 'Moonlight', 'Pink Princess', 'Prince of Orange', 'Red Emerald', 'Rojo Congo', 'White Princess', and 'White Wizard'.[6][7][8]

Most of these cultivars are considered “self-heading”, and not climbing; in time, they form dense, compact colonies of individual plants, originating from a single larger stalk.[6] The species, as well as some cultivars, have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[9]

All parts of P. erubescens are toxic due to calcium oxalate and should be kept away from pets and young children.[6]
