Water: Anemonidium flaccidum prefers well-drained soil and moderate moisture, requiring weekly watering. Thriving indoors with stable humidity levels, its watering needs vary seasonally, decreasing during dormancy.

Fertilize: For optimal health, anemonidium flaccidum requires a balanced fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, applied bimonthly during growth seasons. Soil testing aids nutrient management, preventing over- or under-fertilization. Consider seasonal adjustments and use slow-release fertilizers for consistency, ensuring safety by following instructions and wearing gloves.

Pruning: Anemonidium flaccidum has delicate stems and lush foliage, thriving in shady environments. Prune from early to late spring post-flowering, removing dead stems for health and shape. Light trimming fosters growth and air circulation, while clean tools reduce stress and disease risk.

Propagation: Anemonidium flaccidum propagates well through cuttings. Use healthy, non-flowering shoots, cut segments with several nodes, and dip in rooting hormone before planting in well-draining medium. Consistent moisture and warmth support root development. Once rooted, transfer to a final location while maintaining care requirements.
