Water: Brunonia thrives in consistent moisture, requiring weekly watering to maintain optimal hydration. This resilient outdoor plant flourishes when soil moisture reflects the soft rainfall patterns of its native climate, aligning with its preference for even soil moisture.

Propagation: Propagation of brunonia involves seed sowing or cuttings, requiring bright light, temperatures around 20°C (68°F), and well-draining soil. Avoid over-watering and replicate the native environment. For cuttings, use 4-6 inch healthy shoots, treat with rooting hormone, and ensure consistent moisture without saturation.
