Water: Xanthocyparis prefers moderate moisture and consistent humidity, thriving outdoors with natural rainfall. Once established, it is drought-tolerant but benefits from bi-weekly watering to avoid soil saturation, enhancing its resilience across various climate zones.

Propagation: Propagation of xanthocyparis primarily occurs through seeds and cuttings, requiring optimal light, stable temperature, and well-draining soil. Key methods include seed stratification and applying rooting hormone for cuttings. The process involves selecting healthy stems, preparing cuttings, and providing consistent moisture and warmth until rooting is established.
