Water: Atocion originates from moderate climates and prefers consistently moist soil. Watering weekly, allowing soil to dry slightly, prevents waterlogging. Primarily cultivated outdoors, atocion thrives with a balance of natural rainfall and supplemental irrigation during its growing season for optimal health.

Seeds need moisture and warmth for germination, while divisions should be planted immediately after careful separation in spring or fall, with consistent moisture afterward.
