Water: Stackhousia prefers consistently moist soil and requires weekly watering to align with its natural habitat. As an indoor plant, it benefits from maintaining ambient humidity, particularly during growth cycles when water uptake and transpiration are elevated.

Propagation: Stackhousia can be propagated from seeds, cuttings, or division. Successful growth requires well-draining soil, moderate temperatures, and dappled sunlight. Seeds need stratification or scarification, while cuttings require healthy growth and high humidity to root. Propagation is moderately challenging due to these factors.
