Water: Bartsia flourishes in alpine and subalpine meadows with consistent, well-drained moisture. Preferring cool conditions, it benefits from weekly watering to replicate its natural habitat. Typically grown outdoors, bartsia adapts to seasonal rainfall, influencing its growth cycles and responsiveness to water availability.

Propagation: Propagation of bartsia involves seed sowing and division, requiring proper light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Techniques like stratification help with seed dormancy. The process is moderately challenging, including steps for harvesting, stratifying, planting, and maintaining moisture and light conditions before transplanting.
