Pruning is generally not required for Chondrilla chondrilloides, as it maintains a compact form. Remove any dead or damaged foliage as needed.
Occasional thinning can improve air circulation if the plant becomes too dense.
Propagation is best achieved through seed sowing in spring. Seeds require light for germination and should be sown on the surface of a well-draining seed-starting mix. Cuttings are less reliable for this species.
Repot only when the plant becomes root-bound, typically every 2-3 years. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before active growth begins. Handle the roots gently as they can be sensitive.
