Water Hammock Viper's-Tail thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain freely. Reduce watering during the cooler, dormant months to prevent root rot.

Overwatering is a common mistake; err on the side of slightly dry.

Prune Hammock Viper's-Tail to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flowers and any dead or damaged stems.

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

Propagate Hammock Viper's-Tail from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings in spring or summer, remove lower leaves, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.

Plant in well-draining potting mix and keep moist until roots form.

Repot Hammock Viper's-Tail every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repot in the spring before the active growing season commences.
