Water: Boykinia prefers consistent hydration reflecting its native moist environments. It should be watered weekly and has moderate drought tolerance. Typically grown outdoors, boykinia benefits from natural rain cycles that support its growth by providing steady moisture fluctuations.

Propagation: Propagation of boykinia primarily involves division and seed sowing, necessitating adequate moisture, partial to full shade, and well-drained, fertile soil. Cold stratification may be required for seeds. Division should occur in late winter or early spring, while seeds are best sown in fall, with germination at 13°C (55°F).
