Water: Congea prefers humid environments and requires consistent moisture, benefiting from weekly watering. Resilient to short dry spells, it thrives indoors with attention to humidity. Its water retention aids in maintaining a lush, evergreen appearance year-round.

Propagation: Propagating congea mainly involves softwood cuttings as seeds can be unreliable. Success relies on warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining fertile soil. Use rooting hormone, maintain moisture, and provide a suitable microclimate. Best results occur when cuttings are taken in spring and covered to retain humidity.
