Water: Originating from Mediterranean climates, morisia prefers dry summers and wet winters. It tolerates drought and requires weekly watering for optimal health. Typically grown outdoors, morisia thrives in consistent soil moisture levels, making it suitable for similar climate zones.

Pruning: Morisia has a rosette-forming habit and bright yellow flowers. Prune in early to late spring to promote new growth and maintain shape. Avoid heavy pruning to reduce stress. Light, regular pruning improves airflow and reduces disease risk. Use clean, sharp tools for optimal results.

Propagation: Morisia, native to Mediterranean cliffs, can be easily propagated via healthy cuttings. Select stems with leaves, ensuring they are pest-free. Place them in a well-draining soil mix for optimal moisture retention. With proper care, cuttings will root, producing new plants with parent characteristics.
