Water: Erophaca originates from Mediterranean climates, thriving in moderate humidity and periodic dry spells. Drought-tolerant, it requires weekly watering. Adapted to rocky terrains, erophaca's efficient root system is ideal for xeriscaping or rock gardens.

Propagation: Propagating erophaca primarily involves seed sowing and division. Success factors include full sun, well-draining soil, and moderate temperatures. Challenges include seed dormancy and slow germination. Key steps: collect seeds, stratify if needed, sow in sunny, well-drained soil, and ensure proper watering. For division, separate mature plants in spring.
