Water: Acrothamnus thrives in well-drained soils and is drought-tolerant, needing moderate watering every 1-2 weeks. It grows best outdoors, benefiting from moisture mimicking its natural dry periods, which supports healthy growth across various climates without over-saturation.

Propagation: Acrothamnus can be propagated via cuttings or seeds, requiring bright, indirect light, mild temperatures, and well-draining soil. Use semi-hardwood cuttings with rooting hormone in high humidity. Cover with plastic for moisture retention; roots develop in a few weeks before repotting.
