Water: Apios prefers moist, fertile soil and thrives in environments similar to its native habitat. While it tolerates drought, consistent moisture is ideal. Follow a weekly watering schedule, especially outdoors during its active growing season, to support its growth.

Propagation: Propagation of apios can be achieved through seed sowing, cuttings, or tuber division, with tuber division being preferred. Key factors include soil moisture, temperature, and light. Handle tubers delicately, and ensure each has a growth bud when dividing and replanting in moist, well-draining soil.
