Water: Peturaing originates from arid regions and displays high drought tolerance, thriving with infrequent watering (every 2-3 weeks). It requires well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging, making it ideal for gardeners seeking low-maintenance, drought-resistant plants.

Fertilize: For peturaing, use balanced fertilizers with high nitrogen boosters during growth, fertilizing every 4-6 weeks, and reducing in dormancy. Adjust nutrient levels according to growth stages, employing slow-release options. Always wear gloves, avoid over-application, and water soil before and after to enhance nutrient absorption.

Pruning: Peturaing thrives with lush growth; prune in early spring to enhance foliage and blooms. Start by removing dead branches, then thin overcrowded areas for better air circulation. Use sterilized tools to prevent disease and maintain size, shape, and health.

Propagation: Peturaing propagation requires a healthy parent plant and a stem section with a leaf node. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone, plant in well-draining mix, keep soil moist, and provide indirect light for root establishment, minimizing disturbances throughout the process.
