Water: Tansyaster prefers semi-arid conditions and soil that dries out between waterings, thriving on infrequent moisture. Water every 1-2 weeks to avoid over-saturation. As an outdoor plant, it is resilient to variable climates, aligning its growth with natural rainfall patterns.

Propagation: Propagation of tansyaster can be achieved through seeds and division. Successful growth necessitates adequate light, suitable temperatures, and well-draining soil. Seeds need stratification, while division should occur in spring or autumn with adequate roots. Consistent care enhances propagation success.
