Water: Spiderwisp flourishes in humid environments, requiring consistent moisture without waterlogging, ideally watered weekly. Suited for indoor cultivation, it maintains constant water needs year-round as an evergreen, unlike deciduous plants with seasonal watering variations.

Propagation: Propagate spiderwisp by sowing seeds in well-draining soil at 20°C (68°F) with bright, indirect light. Avoid overwatering to prevent rot. Steps include moistening soil, sowing seeds, maintaining moisture, thinning seedlings, and transplanting when true leaves appear. Propagation difficulty is moderate, affected by environmental factors.
