Adesmia acuta prefers consistently moist soil but can tolerate occasional dryness. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering during cooler months or when the plant is dormant to prevent overhydration.

Prune Adesmia acuta in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain a healthy structure.

Light pruning can also be done after flowering to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.

Propagation of Adesmia acuta is best done by seeds sown in autumn or early spring. Alternatively, semi-hardwood cuttings can be taken in mid-summer and treated with rooting hormone before being placed in a moist, well-draining medium.

Repot Adesmia acuta every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one with good drainage.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a combination of loam, sand, and compost, to ensure aeration for the roots.
