Cistanche salsa requires special growing conditions, given it is a parasitic plant that derives nutrients from host species. Key care points include ensuring proximity to suitable host plants and managing a delicate balance of moisture and drainage to mimic its native desert-like habitats. Special care should be given to soil composition, favoring sandy substrates that offer sufficient aeration and water retention without causing waterlogging, which can be fatal.
