Water: Golden crowns thrives in arid regions, showing high drought tolerance and requiring only occasional watering, approximately once a week. Preferring sunny, open spaces, it flourishes in well-draining soil to prevent root rot and support healthy growth cycles.

Propagation: Propagation of golden crowns can be achieved through seed sowing or cuttings. Successful growth requires adequate light, temperatures of 18-24°C (65-75°F), and well-draining soil. Mimicking a Mediterranean environment is crucial, with full sun and minimal water post-establishment. Cuttings should be 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) long, treated with rooting hormone, and placed in moist soil.
