Water: Originating from areas with weekly rainfall, crownbeard thrives on consistent moisture, needing weekly watering without overwatering. As an outdoor plant, it syncs its growth cycle with seasonal rains, exhibiting resilience and ensuring optimal development during wetter periods.

Propagation: Propagating crownbeard involves seeds, cuttings, or division. Seeds need stratification and well-draining soil; germination thrives at 21°C (70°F). Use semi-ripe cuttings and divide mature plants in spring or fall. Challenges include moisture management and pest protection, with a moderate difficulty level.
