Water: Viola hymettia thrives in humid forests and mountainous regions, requiring careful watering to avoid drought stress. While it cannot tolerate dryness, overwatering leads to decay. In gardens, water based on weather conditions; in pots, water thoroughly when the soil surface dries.

Fertilize: Common slow-release fertilizers are suitable for viola hymettia. During growth and blooming, thin liquid fertilizer should be applied biweekly. For specific application methods, consult the product specifications of the fertilizers.

Propagation: Certain varieties of viola hymettia are self-pollinated, producing fruit post-flowering. The mature fruit splits into three petals, allowing for seed collection to sow in the subsequent year.
