There is a big difference between these two species!

P. filifolia grows in almost pure silica sand in Cuba and gets full
sunlight all day long.

In cultivation it appears to be less fussy about the soil it grows in.
Mine is growing in what appears to be pure peat. You need to give this
plant as much sun as possible and also keep it permanently warm. In
northern Europe this means growing it under artificial lighting during
the winter months.
