Water: Pyrgophyllum thrives in consistently moist environments with weekly watering, though it can tolerate short dry spells. As an indoor plant, it benefits from added humidity via a pebble tray or misting, particularly during the active growth season when its water needs increase.

Propagation: Pyrgophyllum can be propagated via seed sowing or cuttings. Success hinges on suitable light, consistent temperature, and well-draining soil. Use rooting hormone for cuttings and maintain humidity. Key steps include preparing seeds or cuttings, ensuring proper light and moisture, and waiting for germination or root development.
