Water: Westringia thrives in arid regions, requiring infrequent watering and well-draining soil. For optimal care, water westringia every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out. Typically grown outdoors, it prefers environments resembling its natural habitat's sporadic rainfall patterns.

Propagation: Propagation of westringia primarily involves cuttings and seed sowing, thriving in bright indirect light and warm, well-draining soil. Use 4-6 inch semi-hardwood cuttings in summer, with rooting hormone in a peat-perlite mix. Ensure high humidity and indirect sunlight for successful establishment.
