Parabaena thrives with minimal intervention, mirroring its native resilience to sporadic rainfall. This species is well-adapted to conserving water, exhibiting a preference for drier conditions and demonstrating drought tolerance. Watering should be done sparingly, approximately once every three weeks, ensuring the soil has ample time to dry between sessions. As parabaena is more commonly grown indoors, it benefits from a well-draining potting mix that mimics its natural arid environment, reducing the risk of root rot and supporting healthy growth cycles.
