Water: Launaea thrives in semi-arid conditions, requiring minimal supplemental water and prefers dry climates. Water sparingly, about every 2-3 weeks, to prevent over-saturation. Typically grown outdoors, consider natural rainfall during the active growing season for proper care.

Propagation: Propagation methods for launaea include seed sowing and cuttings, requiring full sun to partial shade, regulated temperatures, and well-draining soil. Moisture must be maintained without waterlogging. Cuttings should be healthy, 4-6 inches long, treated with rooting hormone, and kept in consistent moisture and warmth.
