Water: Originating from moderate climates, mousetails thrives in consistently moist yet well-drained soil. Weekly watering is ideal, and it grows best outdoors, benefiting from natural rainfall and seasonal temperature changes, making mousetails a resilient choice for temperate gardens.

Propagation: Propagation of mousetails can be achieved through seed sowing and division. Key requirements include well-draining soil, cool temperatures, and partial sunlight. For seeds, stratification and consistent moisture are essential, while division should occur in spring or fall, ensuring timely replanting with adequate moisture.
