Water: Tricyrtis affinis thrives in high humidity, typical of tropical rainforests, requiring weekly watering. It maintains a balanced relationship with water, neither drought-tolerant nor moisture-loving. As an evergreen often grown indoors, it benefits from a humid environment, achievable by placing its pot on a tray with pebbles and water.

Pruning: Tricyrtis affinis thrives with early spring pruning, focusing on removing dead stems and thinning overcrowded areas for better air circulation. Pruning above healthy buds encourages branching, enhances flowering, and prevents disease. Use clean, sharp tools to limit damage and infection risk.
