Water

Water: Zygophyllum is adapted to arid environments, showcasing drought tolerance by managing water needs efficiently. It requires weekly watering to mimic infrequent, substantial rainfall, thriving outdoors with natural precipitation and occasional deep watering, simulating rare heavy rains.

Propagation: Propagation of zygophyllum can be achieved through seed sowing or cuttings. Success relies on adequate light, well-draining soil, and favorable temperatures. Soaking seeds overnight may improve germination. For cuttings, use a 4-6 inch healthy stem, prepare it properly, and maintain moisture. Rooting requires patience.
