Water: Metapanax is moderately drought-tolerant, thriving with soil that dries slightly between waterings, ideally every 2-3 weeks. Mimicking its natural cycle of heavy rain and dry spells enhances its resilience, enabling metapanax to endure temporary dryness without affecting growth.

Propagation: Propagating metapanax involves stem cuttings or seeds, requiring warm temperatures, indirect light, and well-draining, organic-rich soil. Key steps for cuttings include selecting a healthy stem, preparing the cutting, using rooting hormone, and ensuring high humidity during rooting. Transplant once established.
