Water: Wodyetia prefers well-drained soil and exhibits drought tolerance once established. Native to Australia's arid regions, it requires minimal watering—about every two weeks. Deep watering during its growing season mimics natural heavy rainfall, essential for its development in landscaping settings.

Propagation: Propagation of wodyetia mainly occurs through seeds, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Challenges include seed viability and slow growth. Steps include soaking seeds (24-48 hours), using a sand and peat mix, maintaining 30°C (86°F), and keeping soil moist until germination, which may take months.
