Hebecarpa thrives in environments that mimic its origin, where intermittent rainfall is common. This species exhibits a high drought tolerance, requiring minimal supplemental watering—once every 2-3 weeks suffices to maintain its vigor. For hebecarpa, which is typically more suited to outdoor cultivation due to its resilience, ensuring proper drainage is crucial as it prevents root rot, a common issue in overwatered specimens. Its growth cycle is notably influenced by water availability, with periods of drought prompting a natural dormancy phase.
