Water
Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
In its natural habitat, it experiences dry periods, so mimic this by reducing watering significantly during cooler months.
Argyrolobium itremoense is a shrub native to Madagascar, known for its yellow flowers. It thrives in well-drained soil and full sun.

Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy stems. Pinching back young shoots can encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as this species responds best to minimal intervention.
Pruning is best done after flowering to avoid removing flower buds.
Propagation is typically done from seeds sown in spring. Germination can be erratic. Scarification of the seed coat or soaking in warm water for several hours may improve germination rates.
Cuttings are also possible but can be more challenging.
Repot only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining, gritty compost mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
Avoid disturbing the root ball excessively as the plant can be sensitive to transplant shock.
