Water consistently during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering significantly in fall and winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming completely parched. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Prune lightly after flowering to remove spent blooms and maintain a tidy shape. Significant pruning is generally not required unless the plant is overgrown.

Avoid heavy pruning in late fall, as it can stimulate new growth vulnerable to frost.

Propagate Argentina micropetala from seeds sown in spring or through stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds require stratification.

Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining, moist medium, preferably with bottom heat.

Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted 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 waterlogging.
