Water: Macropanax is a drought-tolerant plant that requires moderate watering every 2-3 weeks. Thriving in well-draining soil, it is crucial to avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Its growth aligns with natural rainfall, making it suitable for rain gardens and water-wise landscaping.

Propagation: Propagation of macropanax involves seed sowing, cuttings, or division, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Cuttings need semi-hardwood sections and rooting hormone, while seed propagation might require scarification or stratification. Division must ensure healthy root sections, making propagation moderately difficult.
