Water: Originating from moisture-rich environments, pararuellia prefers consistent hydration and tolerates brief dry spells. Weekly watering ensures adequate moisture. As an evergreen typically grown indoors, pararuellia thrives in stable climates and controlled watering, promoting its continuous foliage display.

Propagation: Propagation of pararuellia can be achieved through seed sowing, stem cuttings, or division, requiring adequate light, warmth, and moist well-draining soil. Special care, including humidity maintenance for cuttings, is essential. Monitor conditions to promote healthy growth before transplanting once roots develop.
