Water: Pogonia thrives in consistently moist environments, preferring evenly moist soil. Water weekly to avoid drought or waterlogging. As an outdoor plant in temperate regions, pogonia benefits from seasonal rainfall, supporting its growth and health.

Propagation: Propagation of pogonia primarily occurs through seed sowing and division. Key factors include light, moisture, soil drainage, temperature, and careful handling. Division involves digging up clumps post-flowering, separating rhizomes, replanting with spacing, and maintaining moist soil and dappled light for establishment.
