Water: Eupomatia, adapted to fluctuating moisture, is moderately drought-tolerant and needs watering every 2-3 weeks. Allow the soil to dry slightly between sessions. As an evergreen, consistent watering during the growing season is vital for maintaining its year-round foliage.

Propagation: Propagation of eupomatia primarily occurs through seeds, requiring warm temperatures and high humidity in a moist, well-draining medium. Prepare a seed mix, sow seeds on the surface, lightly cover, and maintain warmth with filtered light. Misting is essential for humidity. Germination can be slow and irregular.
