Water: Porlieria is adapted to arid environments, showcasing high drought tolerance with infrequent watering needs of once every 2-3 weeks. It thrives when soil dries out between sessions, reflecting its growth cycle tuned to scarce rainfall in dry climates.

Propagation: Propagation of porlieria can be achieved through seed sowing or cuttings. Essential factors include optimal light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Seeds may require scarification for better germination, while cuttings should be taken from healthy shoots, treated with rooting hormone, and kept in a humid environment.
