Water regularly, especially when young, but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Once established, Argyle Apple is quite drought-tolerant. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Reduce watering in cooler, dormant periods.

Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Heading back leggy growth can encourage bushier development.

It responds well to hard pruning if needed to control size.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or autumn. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Keep moist and provide bottom heat.

Seed propagation is also possible but may not result in true-to-type plants.

Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a free-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
