Originating from environments with intermittent moisture, piscidia has adapted to periods of dryness, exhibiting a moderate drought tolerance. Its water habits reflect an evolutionary balance, preferring consistent but not excessive hydration. Accordingly, it thrives on watering once every 1-2 weeks. As a plant more commonly grown outdoors, piscidia's growth cycle is influenced by rainfall patterns, requiring careful attention to supplemental watering during prolonged dry spells.
