Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Pruning is generally not required for Gymnospermium alberti. If any dead or damaged foliage appears, it can be carefully removed at the base to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Focus on natural form.
Propagation is typically done by division of tubers during the dormant season. Carefully separate offsets and replant them in well-draining soil. Seed propagation is possible but can be slow and challenging.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably during its dormant period. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a combination of compost, grit, and loam.
Choose a pot with adequate drainage holes.
