Water: Lasia thrives in high humidity and tolerates wet soil, requiring a balanced watering routine of weekly moisture. As an evergreen preferred for indoor environments, lasia needs consistent water year-round without a dormancy period, benefiting from stable temperatures and indirect light.

Propagation: Propagation of lasia is primarily through division and stem cuttings, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining, organic-rich soil. Care must be taken to avoid overwatering and to handle fragile roots gently. Ensure each cutting has a node, provide indirect light, and maintain consistent moisture.
