Water

Water: Alepis thrives in dry, drought-prone environments, requiring minimal watering every 2-3 weeks to ensure soil dryness. While it benefits from natural rainfall as an outdoor plant, supplemental watering is necessary during prolonged dry spells, making it resilient for diverse climates.

Propagation: Propagation of alepis primarily occurs via seed sowing and stem cuttings, requiring optimal light, temperature, and well-draining soil. The process involves collecting seeds or cuttings, preparing soil, maintaining moisture and warmth, and eventually transplanting established seedlings or rooted cuttings.
