Water: Kadsura thrives in moisture-rich conditions and shows moderate drought tolerance by storing water. It prefers watering every three weeks and needs well-draining soil to avoid root rot. This adaptability is essential for its success as an indoor ornamental plant.

Propagation: Kadsura propagation methods include seed sowing, cuttings, and layering, with cuttings being predominant. Success relies on humidity, warmth, and well-draining soil. Use healthy stem cuttings with rooting hormone, provide indirect light, and maintain consistent moisture, acclimatizing plantlets gradually to outdoor conditions.
