Water: Erinacea is a drought-tolerant plant from arid environments, thriving with minimal water. Water once every 2-3 weeks, ensuring the soil dries out completely. Its survival strategy includes a reduced growth cycle during dry spells to conserve moisture.

Propagation: Propagation of erinacea primarily occurs through seeds, requiring ample light, moderate temperatures, and well-draining soil. Key steps include stratification or scarification if needed, sowing seeds, maintaining moisture, and transplanting robust seedlings.
