Gnaphalium cabrerae prefers to dry out slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot, especially in poorly draining soil.

Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy.

Pruning is primarily for maintaining shape and encouraging bushier growth. Pinch back the tips of stems in spring to promote branching. Remove any dead or faded flower stems to keep the plant tidy.

Minimal pruning is generally required for this species.

Gnaphalium cabrerae can be propagated by stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and insert into a moist, well-draining potting mix.

Alternatively, it can be grown from seed sown in spring, though cuttings often result in faster establishment.

Repot Gnaphalium cabrerae every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Spring is the ideal time for repotting.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, and choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging.
