Water: Triphasia prefers conditions akin to its tropical origins, thriving in high humidity and consistent moisture. Water once every 1-2 weeks, keeping soil evenly moist. Regular misting is beneficial, especially in heated indoor environments that can lower humidity.

Propagation: Propagation of triphasia can be achieved through seed sowing and cuttings, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Grafting may enhance results. Cuttings require selecting healthy stems, cutting 4-6 inches, using rooting hormone, and maintaining high humidity until rooted.
