Water: Pollia thrives in tropical rainforests, requiring consistently moist soil without waterlogging. It should be watered weekly, especially indoors, to prevent drought stress. As an evergreen, water needs are critical during the growing season for maintaining its vibrant foliage throughout the year.

Propagation: Propagation of pollia involves seed sowing and division, requiring warm temperatures, filtered light, and well-draining soil. Techniques include seed stratification and careful root separation. Key steps include collecting seeds or dividing, sowing or planting at the same depth, keeping soil moist, and providing indirect light.
