Water: Diploclisia prefers conditions similar to its native habitat, with dry periods and intermittent rainfall. It should be watered every three weeks to prevent oversaturation. Higher humidity levels are beneficial, so regular misting can aid in meeting its hydration needs.

Propagation: Propagation of diploclisia involves seed sowing and stem cuttings, requiring indirect sunlight and consistent temperatures of 20-25°C. It prefers well-draining, fertile soil with a pH of slightly acidic to neutral. High humidity is crucial, especially for cuttings, which may benefit from rooting hormone. Difficulty level is moderate.
