Water: Ernodea thrives in coastal dune environments, preferring dry, well-draining soils. It is drought-tolerant and requires sparse watering, approximately once every two weeks. While it benefits from natural rainfall, supplemental watering may be necessary during extended dry periods to preserve its evergreen foliage.

Propagation: Ernodea can be propagated via cuttings or seeds. Cuttings require healthy stems, well-draining soil, and high humidity, while seeds may need stratification. Key steps for cuttings involve cutting, treating with hormone, and maintaining moisture. Seeds should be sown in warm, bright conditions.
