Water: Originating from coastal areas, blutaparon tolerates saline environments and moderate drought. It prefers well-drained soils and should be watered weekly, allowing soil to dry slightly between sessions. Blutaparon thrives in full sun, benefiting from natural rainfall patterns.

Propagation: Blutaparon can be propagated through seeds and cuttings, requiring adequate light, temperature, and well-draining soil. A coastal habitat promotes growth. For cuttings, allow stem segments to callous, plant in sandy soil, water sparingly, and provide bright, indirect light until roots develop.
