Water: Celandines originates from damp woodlands, thriving in moist environments with a preference for consistent moisture. It should be watered weekly and, as an herbaceous perennial, benefits from outdoor conditions that align with its natural growth cycle and reduce supplemental watering needs.

Propagation: Celandines propagates through seed sowing, division, or root cuttings, requiring moist, well-draining soil and partial shade to full sun. Handle with care due to toxicity. Propagation steps include sowing seeds in fall/spring, dividing roots in early spring/fall, and maintaining moisture for cuttings.
