Water: Callaeum thrives in dry conditions with moderate drought tolerance, requiring watering every 2-3 weeks to allow soil to dry. As an evergreen indoor plant, consistent humidity positively affects its foliage health and vibrancy.

Propagation: Callaeum propagation involves seed sowing or stem cuttings under bright, indirect light and warm temperatures. Maintain high humidity with a propagation dome. For cuttings, use a 4-6 inch stem, rooting hormone, and a perlite-peat mix. Moderate difficulty with attention to timing and moisture.
