Water: Crateva, native to semi-arid regions, demonstrates drought tolerance and requires watering every 2-3 weeks. It thrives when soil moisture slightly dries between waterings and prefers well-drained conditions. Often found in xeriscapes, crateva's root system efficiently maximizes water uptake during dry spells.

Propagation: Propagation of crateva can be done via seeds or cuttings. Key growth factors include warm temperatures, well-draining soil, and sunlight. Soak seeds for better germination. For cuttings, use a healthy stem (4-6 inches), apply rooting hormone, and provide indirect light while watering sparingly.
