Water: Packing leaf thrives in high humidity, preferring consistent moisture and regular weekly watering. Moderately drought-tolerant, it benefits from stable hydration. Commonly grown indoors, packing leaf requires increased ambient humidity via misting or a wet pebble tray, especially during its active growing season.

Propagation: Propagation methods for packing leaf include division and stem cuttings, requiring bright indirect light, warmth, and well-drained, humid soil. To propagate, select a healthy plant, prepare cuttings or divisions with rooting hormone, maintain high humidity, and keep soil moist until new growth appears.
