Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Anthospermum bergianum prefers to avoid consistently wet conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during its dormant period in winter to prevent overhydration.

Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems at any time of year. Anthospermum bergianum responds well to tip pruning to promote denser foliage.

Avoid heavy pruning, especially during winter.

Propagate Anthospermum bergianum from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or from seed sown in spring. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium.

Seeds may require stratification for germination.

Repot Anthospermum bergianum every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Repot in spring before the active growing season begins to minimize stress.
