Water: Originating from areas with intermittent rainfall, serruria displays moderate drought tolerance. Water serruria every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry out in between. For optimal growth indoors, ensure increased humidity during its active season to replicate its natural environment.

Propagation: Serruria can be propagated via seeds or cuttings. Seeds may need stratification; cuttings should be semi-hardwood. Key conditions include high humidity, indirect light, and well-draining acidic soil. Follow specific steps for cuttings to ensure successful rooting, which can be a medium to high difficulty process.
