Water: Illigera thrives in humid, tropical environments and is adaptable to high humidity. Water moderately every three weeks to ensure moisture retention without waterlogging. As an evergreen often grown indoors, it requires consistent soil moisture to maintain healthy foliage year-round.

Propagation: The main propagation methods for illigera are seed sowing and stem cuttings. Key factors include consistent warmth, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Fresh seeds enhance germination rates, and cuttings must have one node submerged. Difficulty arises from environmental sensitivity during establishment.
