Water: Schismatoglottis thrives in humid environments similar to its tropical origin, requiring weekly watering to maintain consistent soil moisture. As an indoor plant, it benefits from elevated ambient humidity, which can be achieved through misting or using a pebble tray.

Propagation: Primary propagation methods for schismatoglottis are division and stem cuttings. Success depends on warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil with indirect light. Special care, like using rooting hormone, is beneficial. Division and stem cuttings involve specific steps to ensure proper growth and moisture retention.
