Water: Pachystachys thrives in high humidity and consistent moisture, preferring a stable environment. Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing slight soil drying. Typically grown indoors, it benefits from misting during the growing season to mimic its natural tropical habitat.
Propagation: Propagation of pachystachys is primarily via stem cuttings and seeds. Key success factors include bright, indirect light, warmth, and well-draining soil. Steps involve preparing cuttings, using rooting hormone, maintaining humidity, and pre-treating seeds. Transplant once established for optimal growth.
