Water: Hornungia thrives in consistent moisture, preferring evenly moist, well-drained soil. Weekly watering supports its vitality. Commonly grown outdoors, its growth is linked to rainfall patterns, allowing it to adapt to seasonal water changes.

Propagation: To propagate hornungia, sow seeds in well-draining soil with consistent moisture and light exposure, ideally at 68-72°F (20-22°C). Avoid deep planting; seeds need light to germinate. After sowing, keep the soil moist and transplant seedlings with true leaves into individual pots.
