Water: Originating from arid regions, nitraria is drought-tolerant, thriving with minimal moisture. It requires watering every 2-3 weeks, reflecting its natural dry conditions. Its water-storage capabilities make nitraria ideal for xeriscaping and low-water garden designs.

Propagation: Nitraria propagates through seed sowing, stem cuttings, and division, requiring proper light, temperature (20–25°C), and well-drained saline soil. Special care includes treating seeds for better germination and managing salinity for cuttings. Moderate difficulty is noted due to salt tolerance needs.
