Water: Tapura is moderately drought-tolerant, needing watering every 2-3 weeks after establishing roots, allowing soil to partially dry. It thrives indoors with higher humidity, achievable through misting or pebble trays, mimicking its native environment's conditions.

Propagation: Tapura propagates via seed sowing, semi-hardwood cuttings, or air layering. Successful propagation requires high humidity, warmth, and well-draining soil. Use fungicide on seeds and take cuttings from healthy plants. Challenges include seed dormancy and moisture control, with root establishment in several weeks.
