Water: Originating in areas with sporadic rainfall, foetidia is drought-tolerant and stores water efficiently. Once established, it needs watering every 2-3 weeks and can endure varying weather conditions, maintaining growth despite low precipitation.

Propagation: Foetidia is primarily propagated by seeds but can also be grown from cuttings. Success relies on warm temperatures, well-draining soil, and bright indirect light. Stratification or scarification may be needed for seeds. Moderate difficulty due to slow growth; maintain humidity for cuttings.
