Water: Hesperocnide thrives in moderate climates, requiring consistent soil moisture without waterlogging. Water weekly to maintain balance. As an outdoor plant, it benefits from mulching to retain moisture, reducing watering frequency, particularly during its active growing season.

Propagation: Propagation of hesperocnide can be achieved through seed sowing and stem cuttings. Success depends on adequate light, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. Handle with gloves due to irritant hairs. Maintain moisture for seeds and use rooting hormone for cuttings, transplanting once established.
