Water: Bryonia adapts well to varying moisture levels, exhibiting moderate drought tolerance. Weekly watering is ideal to avoid over-saturation, and needs decrease during dormancy, ensuring resource conservation for the growing season.

Propagation: Propagation of bryonia involves seed sowing, requiring optimal light, warmth, and well-draining soil. Key steps include possible stratification, sowing in spring, and maintaining moisture. Transplant seedlings once strong, with regular monitoring for successful growth, considering variability in germination rates.
