Water: Adapted to infrequent watering, garberia thrives in arid environments with a watering schedule of once every 2-3 weeks. Its drought tolerance and ability to store water make it ideal for xeriscaping and low-water gardens, particularly when grown outdoors with seasonal rainfall.

Propagation: Propagate garberia via cuttings rather than seeds. Key factors include bright indirect light, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. Maintain high humidity for root development. Use a 4-6 inch stem, apply rooting hormone, and plant in peat-perlite mix. Water sparingly and transplant after rooting.
