Water: Stemona prefers moist, well-draining soil and moderate humidity. Water every three weeks, allowing soil to partially dry out. As an evergreen, stemona requires consistent moisture throughout the year, making it suitable primarily for indoor conditions.

Propagation: Primary propagation of stemona occurs via seed sowing and division, as cuttings are difficult. Success requires warmth, high humidity, and well-drained soil. During division, separate rhizomes in dormancy, ensuring roots and shoots are intact. Maintain about 25°C with high humidity and indirect light.
