Water: Originating from tropical rainforests, laceleaf thrives in humid conditions and has moderate drought tolerance. Water weekly to keep soil moist but not waterlogged. As an evergreen often grown indoors, regular misting is beneficial for maintaining preferred humidity levels.

Propagation: Propagation of laceleaf can be achieved through division, stem cuttings, or tissue culture. Ideal conditions include 21-32°C (70-90°F) temperatures, high humidity, and rich, well-draining soil. Division is best during active growth; ensure care to avoid root and stem damage. Monitor for new growth post-propagation.
