Water: Adapted to sporadic moisture, tetracera is drought-tolerant and requires watering every three weeks, allowing the soil to dry out between sessions. As an evergreen, it retains foliage year-round, thriving outdoors in climates mimicking its tropical native habitat.

Propagation: Tetracera can be propagated via seed sowing or cuttings, requiring optimal light, temperature, and well-draining soil. For cuttings, cut healthy stems in spring/summer, use rooting hormone, and maintain high humidity. The process is moderately difficult, necessitating specific care for successful propagation.
