Water: Originating from moderately moist environments, laurelia thrives with balanced watering, tolerating low water periods. Water every 2-3 weeks to mimic its natural rhythm. Preferring indoor cultivation with regulated humidity, laurelia requires consistent soil moisture year-round, even during dormancy.

Propagation: Laurelia can be propagated by seeds or cuttings. Key requirements include warmth, adequate light, and well-draining soil. For seed propagation: stratify if needed, sow in well-draining medium, keep moist, provide bright indirect light, and transplant seedlings when ready.
