Water: Argyreia thrives in tropical environments with high humidity and consistent moisture. It prefers weekly watering to maintain health, showing moderate drought tolerance. Best suited for regions with frequent rainfall and optimal drainage, argyreia avoids root rot while ensuring stable moisture balance.

Propagation: Propagation of argyreia is primarily through seed sowing and stem cuttings. Success relies on warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining, organic-rich soil. Germination needs consistent warmth, especially in cooler seasons. Collect mature seeds or healthy stems, use rooting hormone, and maintain moisture and warmth for root establishment.
