Water: Geophila thrives in consistently moist environments, requiring weekly watering to mimic its native habitat. With moderate drought tolerance, it prefers closely monitored soil moisture to replicate tropical conditions, making diligent watering practices essential for optimal growth and health.

Propagation: To propagate geophila, use seed sowing or division. Provide indirect light, moderate temperatures, and well-draining soil. Maintain soil moisture without waterlogging. Collect seeds post-flowering or divide during repotting, ensuring sections have roots. Keep seeds barely covered in a moist seed-starting mix with gentle warmth.
