Water: Kernera thrives in consistently moist soil, requiring weekly watering to avoid waterlogging. While it exhibits moderate drought tolerance, it performs best with regular hydration. Typically grown indoors, maintaining steady moisture is essential, especially during the growing season for optimal growth.

Propagation: Propagation of kernera primarily involves seed sowing in pots or directly outdoors. Ensure consistent temperatures, adequate light, and well-draining soil. Stratify seeds as needed, keep moist, and transplant seedlings once they are mature enough to handle. Managing moisture levels is crucial to avoid rot.
