Water: Originating from temperate regions, fumitory thrives with moderate watering, preferring consistent soil moisture without waterlogging. Weekly watering is optimal for its health. Typically grown outdoors, fumitory benefits from natural rainfall during the growing season, enhancing its hydration and lifecycle.

Propagation: Propagation of fumitory occurs via seed sowing and division, requiring moderate light, mild temperatures, and well-draining soil. Sow seeds in spring or autumn with light coverage, ensuring soil remains moist. Perform division in early spring post-flowering; the process is moderately difficult due to sensitivity to overwatering.
