Water: Datisca thrives in moderate climates with consistent moisture. Water weekly, ensuring soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged. Ideal for outdoor cultivation, datisca benefits from natural rainfall. Proper soil drainage is crucial to prevent root problems from excess water retention.

Propagation: Datisca propagates primarily through seeds; cuttings and division are less effective. Essential growth factors include bright light, moderate temperatures, and well-draining soil. Special care on spacing and moisture control is crucial to avoid root rot. Propagation is moderately difficult due to seed dormancy and overwatering sensitivity.
