Water: Cartrema is drought-tolerant, requiring moderate watering every 1-2 weeks. Thriving outdoors, it prefers soil moisture that resembles natural precipitation patterns to ensure healthy growth without the risk of over-saturation.

Propagation: Propagating cartrema involves seed sowing or semi-hardwood cuttings. Maintain warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Use healthy cuttings treated with rooting hormone, and perform cold stratification on seeds. Cuttings require specific steps to root successfully under suitable light conditions.
