Water: Derris flourishes in high humidity and consistent moisture, preferring watering every three weeks with partial soil drying. Moderately drought-tolerant, derris is often grown indoors for better moisture control. Adequate watering is essential during the growing season to sustain its evergreen foliage.

Propagation: Propagation of derris involves seed sowing and stem cuttings. Success requires high humidity, warmth, and well-draining soil. Pre-treat seeds to break dormancy and use rooting hormone for cuttings. Maintain a humid environment, avoiding direct sunlight, with moderate overall difficulty.
