Water: Boea thrives in humid environments and prefers consistent moisture, tolerating brief dryness. Weekly watering supports its lush growth. Typically grown indoors, it flourishes in places that replicate tropical conditions, like well-lit bathrooms with ambient moisture.

Propagation: Propagation of boea includes seeds, cuttings, or leaf fragments. High humidity, warm temperatures, and well-drained soil are crucial. Handle delicately; propagation is moderately challenging. Use rooting hormone for cuttings and surface-sow seeds, ensuring consistent light and warmth for successful growth.
