Water moderately in spring and summer, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in autumn and winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.

Ensure excellent drainage to avoid root rot, as this species is sensitive to waterlogged conditions.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as Daphne alpina does not respond well to drastic cuts and can take a long time to recover.

Deadheading spent flowers can encourage a tidier appearance.

Propagation is best achieved through semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Rooting can be slow and requires high humidity and warmth.

Seed propagation is possible but often results in variable plants and requires stratification.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years in early spring before new growth begins. Mature plants generally prefer to be left undisturbed. Use a well-draining, gritty compost mix.

Handle the root ball gently to minimize disturbance, as Daphne species are sensitive to root damage.
