Water:
Calico, native to arid regions, thrives with minimal moisture and high drought tolerance. It prefers deep, sparse watering weekly and stores water within its structure. Optimal growth requires good soil drainage and full sun exposure to prevent root rot.
Propagation:
Propagation of calico is mainly through seed sowing, requiring well-draining soil, consistent moisture, and temperature of 15-21°C (60-70°F). Scarification and sometimes stratification are needed to overcome seed dormancy. Germination occurs in 2-4 weeks; manage seedlings carefully to prevent transplant shock.
