Water: Coccocypselum thrives in humid environments and requires consistent moisture and high humidity. Weekly watering maintains its lushness, while regular misting replicates its native habitat's conditions, making it ideal for indoor growth as an evergreen plant.

Propagation: Propagate coccocypselum primarily through seed sowing, requiring warm temperatures, moderate light, and well-draining soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. After collecting ripe seeds, follow steps to sow and transplant seedlings once true leaves develop.
