Water: Leea is drought-tolerant, requiring watering every 2-3 weeks due to its ability to store water. As an indoor plant, it thrives in well-draining soil that prevents overwatering and root rot, reflecting its adaptation to fluctuating moisture levels in its native environment.

Propagation: Propagation of leea can be achieved via stem cuttings or seeds. Success depends on bright indirect light, warmth (above 60°F/15°C), and well-draining soil. Stem cuttings require specific steps, while seeds need warmth, moisture, and indirect light for germination. Extra humidity is beneficial.
