Water: Caroxylon, adapted to arid regions, exhibits high drought tolerance by storing water. It requires watering every 2-3 weeks and is ideal for xeriscaping, supporting sustainable gardening practices in water-restricted areas.

Propagation: Propagating caroxylon mainly involves seed sowing, requiring well-drained soil, consistent moisture, and temperatures of 20-25°C (68-77°F). Soak seeds for 24 hours, sow in sandy soil, and maintain light watering. Avoid overwatering, as it is crucial for successful germination and growth.
