Water: Stachyphrynium prefers high humidity and consistently moist soil, typical of tropical rainforest understories. Water weekly to avoid waterlogging, and mist periodically to enhance foliage health, mimicking its native humid environment.

Propagation: Propagation of stachyphrynium can be achieved through division or stem cuttings, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining organic-rich soil. Steps include selecting healthy stems, using rooting hormone, and maintaining humidity. Water when topsoil is dry and transplant once rooted during active growth for optimal success.
