Water: Originating from tropical rainforest understoreys, labisia thrives in consistently moist, high-humidity environments. Moderate drought tolerance allows for weekly watering to sustain lush growth. Best grown indoors for regulated humidity, labisia is evergreen, requiring a stable watering routine for year-round foliage.

Propagation: Propagation of labisia can be achieved through seed sowing, stem cuttings, and division. It requires warm temperatures, dappled light, and high humidity for success. Key steps for division include careful separation, repotting in well-draining soil, and maintaining consistent moisture and indirect light.
