Water: Ant, native to Mediterranean climates, requires a balance of moisture without waterlogging. It thrives with seasonal watering, ideally weekly, to support its flowering during the growing season. Adapted to variable rainfall, ant efficiently uses available water, showing drought tolerance in dry periods.

Propagation: Ant is mainly propagated by seed sowing, as vegetative methods are usually unsuitable. Successful growth requires specific mycorrhizal fungi, suitable light, and temperature. Propagation is challenging; steps include collecting mature seeds, using a sterile mix, ensuring high humidity, and waiting several months to a year for germination.
