Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Adenia fruticosa is drought-tolerant and susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Water thoroughly when the top few centimeters of soil are dry.

Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune to maintain shape and control size. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pruning can be done in spring before new growth begins. Heavy pruning can stimulate bushier growth.

Wear gloves as the sap can be irritating.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Allow cuttings to callous over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil mix. Rooting hormone can be used to speed up the process.

Keep cuttings warm and lightly moist.

Repot infrequently, only when the plant has become root-bound, typically every 2-3 years. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before the active growing season.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
