Water: Loxostylis thrives in arid conditions with high drought tolerance, requiring watering every 2-3 weeks and allowing the soil to dry out. Preferring full sun, it benefits from well-draining soil that resembles its native habitat.

Propagation: Propagation of loxostylis occurs through semi-hardwood cuttings or seeds, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Seeds benefit from stratification for better germination. Cuttings should be taken in late summer, treated with rooting hormone, and acclimatized to outdoor conditions before planting.
