Gnaphalium aldunateoides prefers well-draining soil and should be watered moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in cooler conditions.
Reduce watering in winter.
Prune Gnaphalium aldunateoides to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flower stems to prevent self-seeding and prolong flowering.
Light trimming can be done in spring or after flowering to shape the plant.
Propagate Gnaphalium aldunateoides from seed sown in spring or from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds germinate best with light and consistent moisture.
Cuttings root readily in well-draining soil mix.
Repot Gnaphalium aldunateoides every two to three years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil, perlite, and sand. Repot in spring before active growth begins.
