Water: Tarweeds thrives in arid environments with high drought tolerance. Weekly watering mimics its natural habitat, ensuring consistent moisture without oversaturation. Benefiting from dry outdoor climates, deep watering promotes root growth and resilience during droughts.

Propagation: Propagating tarweeds involves sowing seeds in well-draining soil at 55-75°F (13-24°C). Seeds should be sown in late fall to early spring, with soil kept moist for germination. Thin seedlings to prevent overcrowding, and ensure consistent moisture for optimal establishment.
