Water: Rhinotropis prefers consistent moisture, tolerating moderate drought. Water weekly to maintain hydration without waterlogging. Ideal for indoor cultivation due to manageable humidity. Use well-draining soil to prevent root rot during the active growing season.

Propagation: Primary propagation of rhinotropis involves seed sowing or cuttings, requiring proper light, warmth, and well-drained soil. Cuttings should be taken from healthy stems, treated with rooting hormone, and placed in humid, indirect light. Timely care and pest monitoring are essential for successful propagation.
