Water: Oxypetalum requires consistent moisture for optimal growth, thriving with weekly watering while showing moderate drought tolerance. It prefers well-draining soil when potted indoors to prevent root rot and maintain necessary moisture levels.

Propagation: Propagation of oxypetalum is achieved via seed sowing, cuttings, or division. Key factors include warm temperatures, sufficient sunlight, and well-draining soil. For cuttings, allow the cut surface to callous before planting. Water sparingly until roots develop, as propagation is moderately difficult.
