Water: Gymnotheca prefers consistently moist soil, requiring weekly watering to avoid drought stress. As an indoor plant, it benefits from periodic misting to mimic its natural humidity, helping to maintain its lush appearance year-round.

Propagation: Propagation of gymnotheca can be achieved through seed sowing or division, requiring indirect light, stable mild temperatures, and well-draining soil. Treating seeds and careful handling during division are important. The process involves unearthing, dividing, and planting sections in suitable mix, maintaining moisture and light until established.
