Water: Ventilago elegans thrives in humid environments with consistent moisture. Water it twice a week; it performs better indoors to manage moisture levels. Ensure well-draining soil that retains some moisture without becoming soggy, as ventilago elegans has moderate drought tolerance.

Pruning: Ventilago elegans has slender branches and attractive foliage. Prune in early spring to promote healthy growth and shape, removing dead branches and enhancing airflow. Regular pruning boosts vigor and flowering, while clean tools prevent disease, improving aesthetics and overall health.

Propagation: Ventilago elegans propagates best through cuttings of healthy semi-hardwood stems. Using rooting hormone and a nutrient-rich, well-draining medium, maintain consistent moisture and light until rooting occurs. Once rooted, transplant to a permanent location and provide regular care for acclimatization.
