Water

Water: Youngia prefers moist conditions with consistent humidity, exhibiting moderate drought tolerance. Weekly watering is recommended to maintain moisture, especially indoors. During the active growing season, ensure the soil is evenly moist but not waterlogged for optimal growth.

Propagation: Propagation methods for youngia include seed sowing and division. Success relies on moderate light, temperatures of 15-20°C, and well-draining soil. Cold stratification may be needed for seed dormancy. Sow seeds in trays, maintain humidity, and transplant seedlings after true leaves develop. For division, separate clumps in spring or fall.
