Water: Heterostemma excels with a watering schedule of every three weeks, favoring well-drained soil and tolerating drought. As an indoor plant, it thrives in higher humidity, reflecting its tropical origins, enhancing growth when combined with suitable watering techniques.

Propagation: Propagation of heterostemma is primarily through stem cuttings and seeds. Success requires warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Use rooting hormone for cuttings and ensure seeds are fresh. Follow steps: cuttings in spring/summer, dip in hormone, plant in peat-perlite mix, and maintain humidity.
