Water: Rattlesnake root thrives in moist environments, preferring consistent hydration with weekly watering to maintain health. While moderately drought-tolerant, it benefits from rainwater, which enhances nutrient uptake during the growing season.

Propagation: Propagation of rattlesnake root can be achieved through seeds and division. Successful growth requires partial shade, well-drained soil, and moderate moisture. Seed stratification lasts 4-6 weeks, followed by sowing and transplanting. Division should occur in early spring or fall, with immediate replanting and thorough watering.
