Water: Benkara is moderately drought-tolerant, requiring balanced watering every 2-3 weeks, with the soil allowed to dry slightly between sessions. It thrives outdoors, influenced by seasonal rainfall patterns due to its origins in environments with wet and dry fluctuations.

Propagation: Propagation of benkara can be achieved through seed sowing or cuttings. Success depends on adequate light, stable temperatures, and well-draining soil. Use fresh seeds or hormone-treated cuttings. Key steps include preparing seeds or cuttings, sowing or inserting, maintaining moisture and light, and transplanting once established.
