Water African Senna moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Ensure good drainage to prevent issues.

Prune African Senna in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches. This encourages bushier growth and flowering. Light pinching of new shoots can also improve form.

Propagate Senna didymobotrya from seeds sown in spring after a short period of stratification, or from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Cuttings root readily in a well-draining medium.

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid overwatering.
