Water: Hebecarpa thrives in environments resembling its native habitat with intermittent rainfall. It requires minimal watering—once every 2-3 weeks. Proper drainage is essential to prevent root rot, especially in outdoor settings. Water availability significantly influences its growth cycle, leading to natural dormancy during droughts.

Propagation: Propagate hebecarpa primarily via cuttings for reliability. Use healthy stock with nodes, maintaining temperatures of 20-25°C (68-77°F), high humidity, and well-draining soil. Steps include cutting a 4-6 inch segment, applying rooting hormone, and monitoring in bright, indirect light until rooted.
