Water: Tridax thrives in tropical-like environments with consistent moisture and high humidity. It prefers evenly moist soil and should be watered weekly. Regular misting enhances its vibrant foliage, making tridax a popular choice for indoor gardening as an evergreen plant.

Propagation: Tridax propagation relies on seeds and stem cuttings, thriving in warm temperatures, well-draining soil, and good light. Surface-sow seeds and use rooting hormone for cuttings. Follow steps: gather propagules, prepare containers, sow or plant, maintain moisture, and wait for growth before transplanting.
