Water: Kopoti thrives in moist, temperate regions with a need for consistent moisture and moderate drought tolerance. Weekly watering maintains health, and mulching helps retain soil moisture, especially during the active growing season. It is typically grown outdoors for optimal growth.

Fertilize: Fertilize kopoti bi-monthly with balanced nutrition during spring and summer, using a diluted, quarter-strength solution. Reduce frequency in winter. Use slow-release granules for nutrients, and always water thoroughly post-application to prevent root burn and enhance nutrient absorption.

Pruning: Kopoti has aromatic leaves and umbels of pink to white flowers. Prune during early to late spring to encourage growth, remove damaged stems, and improve air circulation. Use clean, sharp tools to reduce disease risk, as proper pruning enhances flowering and vitality.

Propagation: Kopoti thrives in rocky soils and cooler temperatures. Propagation is achieved by sowing seeds in well-draining substrate with moderate moisture. A stratification period simulates winter, aiding germination. With care, kopoti matures beautifully in alpine gardens.
