Crassocephalum paludum prefers consistently moist soil. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months but do not allow the soil to dry out completely.

Prune Crassocephalum paludum to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back the tips of young stems regularly. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems as needed.

Pruning can also be done after flowering to encourage a more compact form.

Crassocephalum paludum is easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 7-10 cm cuttings from healthy plants in spring or summer. Remove lower leaves and insert the cuttings into moist potting mix or water.

Roots typically form within a few weeks.

Repot Crassocephalum paludum every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring before the main growing season begins.
