Water: Thriving in humid environments, xiphidium efficiently absorbs and retains moisture. It prefers consistent soil moisture without waterlogging, requiring weekly watering to maintain balance. When grown indoors, ensure adequate drainage to prevent root rot and mimic its natural wet-dry cycles.

Propagation: Xiphidium propagation involves division and cuttings. Success relies on high humidity, warmth (75-85°F), and well-draining soil. Avoid waterlogging while maintaining moisture. Steps include dividing during growth, planting in peat-perlite mix, and ensuring indirect light until roots establish.
