Conyza deserticola prefers well-drained soil and should be watered moderately. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during its active growth period.

Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent root rot. Overwatering is detrimental.

Prune Conyza deserticola lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flower stalks to prevent self-seeding if desired.

Heavy pruning is generally not required but can be done in early spring to rejuvenate the plant.

Propagation is typically achieved through seeds sown in spring. Surface sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix and keep moist.

Alternatively, softwood cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer and rooted in a moist medium.

Repot Conyza deserticola every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Repot in early spring before new growth begins.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
