Water: Crassothonna thrives in drought-prone conditions, requiring minimal watering every three weeks. It stores water efficiently, preventing root rot by allowing soil to dry. Suitable for xeriscaping, crassothonna adapts well to seasonal rainfall patterns, making it resilient for low-water outdoor gardens.

Propagation: Propagation of crassothonna primarily involves seed sowing and stem cuttings. Key factors for success include bright light, well-draining soil, and warmth. To propagate, cut a 4-inch stem, let it dry, use rooting hormone, plant in gritty soil, and maintain light moisture without overwatering.
