Care Guide for Cystacanthus

Every 2-3 weeks

Water

Water: Originating from moisture-variable environments, cystacanthus thrives with minimal water, exhibiting drought tolerance. It prefers soil drying between watering every 2-3 weeks. As an indoor plant, cystacanthus enjoys stable conditions, leading to a more consistent growth cycle and reduced dependence on external moisture.

Propagation: Propagation of cystacanthus can be achieved through seed sowing, stem cuttings, or division, requiring light, warmth, and well-draining soil. For cuttings, select a healthy stem, prepare it, use rooting hormone, and maintain high humidity until roots form in a few weeks.
