Water: Thriving in moist conditions, megacodon requires consistent hydration with evenly damp soil and a weekly watering schedule. As an herbaceous perennial, its water uptake is influenced by the growing season, necessitating careful moisture management for optimal growth.

Propagation: Propagating megacodon involves seed sowing or cuttings. Successful propagation requires moderate temperatures, high humidity, and well-drained, neutral pH soil. Challenges include seed viability and root initiation. For seeds, stratify if needed, sow in a sterile mix, and keep moist. For cuttings, use healthy stems and maintain humidity.
