Water: Palafox thrives in consistently moist environments, requiring weekly watering for vigor. It tolerates moderate drought but prefers steady moisture without saturation. Best suited for outdoor growth, palafox adapts well to regions with predictable rainfall patterns during the growing season.

Propagation: To propagate palafox, use seeds or cuttings. Success depends on light, warmth, and well-draining soil. Rooting hormone aids cuttings; seeds may need stratification. For seeds, sow after frost. For cuttings, take a 4-6 inch piece, apply hormone, and plant in a sand-perlite mix.
