Water: Amphilophium thrives in drought-prone environments, requiring minimal watering every three weeks. Ideal for indoor growth, it enjoys stable conditions away from extreme weather. As an evergreen, amphilophium retains water effectively, making it a low-maintenance choice for indoor spaces.

Propagation: Amphilophium propagates through seed sowing or stem cuttings, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. For cuttings: select a healthy stem, cut 4-6 inches below a node, remove lower leaves, dip in rooting hormone, and maintain moisture and warmth until rooted.
