Water: Neolitsea prefers dry environments with high drought tolerance, requiring watering every 2-3 weeks. It thrives in well-draining soil to prevent root rot and is typically grown indoors, where humidity levels can be controlled to mimic its native habitat.

Propagation: Propagation of neolitsea involves seed sowing or semi-hardwood cuttings. Key requirements include well-draining soil, warmth, and bright indirect light. Seed dormancy may require stratification. Follow essential steps: gather seeds, stratify, sow, position appropriately, and water consistently. Patience is vital for successful germination and rooting.
