Water: Originating from arid regions, seed leaf is drought-tolerant and prefers minimal moisture, requiring watering every 2-3 weeks. Grown indoors due to cold sensitivity, it thrives in well-draining soil that resembles its native dry habitat.

Propagation: Propagation of seed leaf can be done via seed sowing or leaf cuttings, requiring well-draining soil, warm temperatures, and indirect light. Keep the environment sterile to prevent fungal issues. Key steps for leaf cuttings include callousing the cut end and providing minimal water until roots develop.
