Water Dichrostachys richardiana thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when the plant's growth slows.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune Dichrostachys richardiana to maintain its desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged branches.

Propagate Dichrostachys richardiana from seeds, which require scarification or soaking before sowing.

Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, treated with rooting hormone, and planted in a well-draining medium. Maintain warmth and humidity for successful rooting.

Repot Dichrostachys richardiana every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season.
