Its ability to quickly cover ground or climb supports aids in maximizing light absorption, essential for its growth and reproduction.

Water: Solena thrives in environments that replicate its native habitat of intermittent rainfalls and dryness, exhibiting drought tolerance. Watering should be limited to every three weeks, ideally in outdoor settings with distinct wet and dry seasons, mirroring its cyclical water availability adaptations.

Propagation: Solena propagates via seed, stem cuttings, or layering. Key factors include adequate light, warm temperatures, and well-draining fertile soil. Rooting treatments may enhance success. Propagation by cuttings requires preparation of the stem, hormone application, suitable planting medium, and consistent moisture until roots form.
