Lepidaploa thrives in conditions that mimic its native environment, which is typically characterized by intermittent rainfall. This species has adapted to be somewhat drought-tolerant, requiring a delicate balance of moisture. Watering should occur once every 2-3 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between sessions. As lepidaploa is often cultivated indoors due to its preference for stable conditions, it's important to consider humidity levels; misting can help replicate the moist air of its natural habitat. The plant’s growth cycle is closely tied to water availability, with optimal hydration fostering vigorous development.
