Water: Ascarina thrives in conditions of moderate moisture, requiring water once every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to partially dry out. It benefits from consistent humidity, essential for growth, and should avoid being completely dry or overly saturated during the active growth season.

Propagation: Ascarina can be propagated through seeds, semi-hardwood cuttings, or division. Key factors include adequate light, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. Some species may need stratification or scarification. Propagation is moderately difficult, requiring attention to environmental conditions and specific cutting techniques.
