Water: Originating from environments with intermittent moisture, drypetes thrives with minimal hydration. It has high drought tolerance, requiring watering every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry out. This outdoor plant efficiently stores water, making it resilient against varying weather conditions.

Propagation: Propagation of drypetes involves seed sowing or cuttings. Seeds need warm, moist conditions, while cuttings require semi-hardwood segments in similar conditions. Steps include soaking seeds, using rooting hormone for cuttings, and maintaining humidity. Challenges include seed dormancy and root development, with moderate difficulty overall.
