Water: Originating from consistently moist environments, cyananthus thrives with weekly watering and maintains resilience against varying rainfall. It requires a balanced hydration approach, adapting well without being overly drought-tolerant or dependent on high humidity for optimal growth.

Propagation: Propagation of cyananthus can be achieved through seeds or cuttings. Success hinges on well-draining soil, adequate light, and a temperate climate. Seed propagation requires cold stratification and careful moisture management, while cuttings should be taken in summer with high humidity and indirect light for rooting.
