Water: Alluaudia excels in arid conditions with excellent drought resistance, needing minimal watering—ideally once every three weeks. Indoor care includes occasional misting to mimic low humidity. As a succulent, alluaudia is ideal for container gardening due to its water storage capabilities.

Propagation: Propagation of alluaudia involves seed sowing or stem cuttings. Use well-draining sandy soil and provide warm, bright, indirect light for seeds. Cuttings require dry, warm conditions to callus. Overwatering should be avoided, with moderate difficulty in germination and callus formation.
