Water: Originating from arid regions, brown nonea is drought-tolerant and thrives with minimal moisture, requiring weekly watering for health. This hardy plant can adapt to various soil types, though well-draining soil is essential to prevent root rot.

Fertilize: For brown nonea, use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer quarterly from spring to fall, applying about a teaspoon per pot. Avoid fertilizing in winter. Always water after fertilization to prevent root burn. This method supports effective nutrient intake and promotes overall health and beauty of brown nonea.

Pruning: Brown nonea features dark, bell-shaped flowers with a hairy texture. Prune in early to late spring by removing dead stems and thinning dense areas for better air circulation. This practice promotes healthy growth, robust blooming, and maintains an attractive, tidy appearance.

Propagation: Brown nonea thrives in rocky slopes and steppe regions, primarily propagated through seed sowing. Use a well-draining substrate and sow fresh seeds shallowly. Maintain consistent moisture without overwatering to prevent fungal issues. Germination can be variable, often taking several weeks.
