Water thoroughly when the soil has dried out completely. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the soil to dry between waterings, especially during cooler months.

Reduce watering significantly in winter to mimic its natural dormancy period.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged stems. This can be done in early spring before new growth begins. Pinching back the tips of young stems can encourage bushier growth.

Remove any spent flower stalks to prevent seed formation and direct energy to the plant.

Propagate primarily through stem cuttings. Take 4-6 cm cuttings in spring or early summer and allow them to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Rooting hormone can be beneficial.

Keep cuttings in a warm, bright location, but out of direct sun.

Repot your Astridia alba every 2-3 years, or when it outgrows its container. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
