Water: Bonesets thrives in moist environments, needing consistently damp soil without waterlogging. Water weekly to prevent over or under-watering. As an herbaceous perennial, bonesets adapts to seasonal rainfall, which impacts its growth cycles and watering requirements.

Propagation: Bonesets can be propagated through seed, division, or stem cuttings. Successful propagation requires adequate light, moisture in well-draining soil, and moderate temperatures. Division involves digging up clumps in spring or fall, separating them with roots, and replanting at the same depth, followed by thorough watering.
