Water: Puncture vine thrives in arid environments with minimal moisture and exhibits high drought tolerance. It should be watered weekly to maintain resilience. With a deep root system, puncture vine efficiently uses scarce rainfall, making it ideal for xeriscaping.
Propagation: Propagation of puncture vine primarily occurs through seeds, with success depending on light, temperature, and well-drained soil. Steps include scarification for water absorption, sowing in well-draining soil with full sunlight, maintaining temperatures of 20-30°C (68-86°F), and light watering until germination. Control measures are needed where puncture vine is invasive.
