Water: Wandplants prefers consistently moist soil and high humidity, akin to its forest understory habitat. While moderately drought-tolerant, it benefits from weekly watering and regular misting to maintain optimal hydration and replicate its native conditions.

Propagation: Wandplants propagation is primarily through division and sowing seeds. Successful growth requires diffuse light, cool temperatures, and well-draining acidic soil. Maintain high humidity, avoid direct sunlight, and ensure consistent moisture for seed germination. Divide rosette offsets in spring, planting with roots and proper substrate.
