Typically grown outdoors, oxygraphis sheds leaves seasonally, adapting to water availability to conserve resources during dry periods.

Propagation: Propagation methods for oxygraphis include seed sowing, division, and tissue culture. Success relies on optimal light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Some seeds need cold stratification. The process involves stratifying seeds, sowing in suitable soil, maintaining moisture, providing light, and transplanting strong seedlings.
