Water: Alophia thrives in well-drained, moist soil, preferring consistent moisture but tolerating brief dryness. Water weekly to prevent waterlogging. Best grown outdoors, it benefits from natural rainfall, making it a low-maintenance and vibrant choice for regions with regular precipitation.

Propagation: Alophia propagation is achievable via seed sowing and division, requiring careful attention to light, temperature, and soil drainage. Successful seed germination may need stratification/scarification. Division should minimize damage. Key steps include using ripe seeds or dividing in dormancy, ensuring moisture, and monitoring for pests.
