Water: Didymostigma thrives in consistent moisture and prefers weekly watering to maintain hydration. It has moderate drought tolerance but benefits from regular misting to emulate its native humidity, promoting vibrant growth and health, especially when grown indoors.

Propagation: Propagation of didymostigma can be achieved through seed sowing and stem cuttings, requiring bright, indirect light, consistent warmth, and well-draining soil. Cuttings should be 2-4 inches long, treated with rooting hormone, and kept humid until roots develop, which typically takes a few weeks.
