Water: Originating from temperate environments, dontostemon thrives with moderate watering, preferring slightly dried soil between waterings. Best maintained with weekly irrigation, it avoids waterlogging, balancing wet and dry conditions for optimal growth while efficiently utilizing water during peak seasons.

Propagation: Propagation of dontostemon involves seed sowing in well-draining, moderately fertile soil. Ensure light exposure and temperatures of 65-75°F (18-24°C). Seeds should be lightly covered to prevent drying out. Use a starter mix in trays and keep in a warm, well-lit area until germination.
