Water: Adapted to arid environments, trithrinax is drought-tolerant and thrives on minimal moisture. Water once every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry. Best suited for outdoor cultivation with ample sunlight and well-draining soil that mimics its native habitat's dryness.

Propagation: Trithrinax propagates primarily through seeds. Successful germination requires warm temperatures (20-30°C), well-drained sandy soil, and consistent moisture. To expedite germination, soak seeds for 48-72 hours and transplant established seedlings carefully as growth can be slow and challenging.
