Water: Drimycarpus thrives in conditions similar to its native habitat with alternating wet and dry periods. Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry out. It benefits from natural rain but needs extra water during long dry spells, with reduced watering in dormancy.

Propagation: Propagation of drimycarpus mainly involves seed sowing and cuttings. Key factors include light, temperature, and soil quality. Techniques may involve stratification or rooting hormones. Cuttings should be 4-6 inches long, treated with rooting hormone, and planted in well-draining soil, maintaining humidity until rooted.
