Water: Kali is highly drought-tolerant, thriving with minimal water. It requires weekly watering and is resilient in outdoor settings and containers, where moisture control is essential. Its growth is adapted to the scarce rainfall of its native arid landscapes.

Propagation: Propagation of kali primarily involves seed sowing, requiring adequate light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Techniques like stratification or scarification may boost germination. Steps include collecting seeds, preparing them, sowing in suitable conditions, and hardening off seedlings before outdoor transplanting.
