Water: Lenophyllum thrives in rocky, arid environments, showing drought tolerance and requiring minimal water — typically once every three weeks. It is often cultivated indoors to maintain lower humidity, and its water storage capability helps it remain vigorous during dry periods.

Propagation: Primary propagation for lenophyllum involves cuttings or leaf-bulbils. Key care includes well-draining soil, bright indirect light, and warmth while avoiding overwatering. Cuttings require a callous period before planting in cactus mix, with indirect light until roots establish.
