Water: Geropogon thrives in environments with periodic moisture, requiring weekly watering for optimal health. This herbaceous plant is well-suited for outdoor cultivation, benefiting from natural rainfall. Consistent soil moisture is essential during its active growing season for ensuring vigorous growth.

Propagation: Propagating geropogon primarily involves seed sowing due to poor responses to cuttings or division. Optimal light, temperatures (15-20°C), and well-draining soil are crucial. Collect seeds post-flowering, sow in moist medium, provide indirect light, and transplant seedlings when hardy.
