Water: Fatoua thrives in moist conditions, requiring consistent hydration and evenly moist soil. Water weekly to maintain lushness. As an indoor plant, it benefits from higher home humidity, reducing watering frequency during cooler months when growth slows.

Propagation: Fatoua can be propagated via seed sowing and stem cuttings, requiring consistent warmth, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Maintain sterile conditions to prevent disease. For cuttings, use healthy stems (2-4 inches), rooting hormone, and a peat-perlite mix, ensuring moist soil and bright, indirect light.
