Water: Donax flourishes in moist environments, thriving with regular watering every week. As an evergreen, it benefits from stable indoor conditions that replicate its humid native habitat, ensuring it remains healthy and hydrated without exposure to drought.

Propagation: Propagation of donax primarily occurs through seed sowing. Key factors include proper light, temperature, and a sandy soil mix. Notably sensitive to overwatering, it requires a hardening-off phase if started indoors. The process involves seed collection, stratification, careful sowing, and gradual acclimatization outdoors.
