Water: Ophioderma thrives in environments with intermittent moisture, preferring consistent hydration without waterlogging. A watering schedule of twice a week is ideal, and proper soil drainage is crucial for maintaining root health and vigor, especially when grown indoors.

Propagation: Propagation of ophioderma can be done via division or cuttings, with division being easier. Key factors include proper light, temperature, and well-draining soil. High humidity is important; monitor in dry conditions. When dividing, ensure each section has roots and maintain humidity and indirect light until established.
