Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. In hotter, drier periods, increase watering frequency.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, especially during its active growth phase.

Pruning is generally not required for Kummerowia striata. If it becomes too leggy or overgrown, light trimming can be done in late spring or early summer to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth.

Dead or damaged stems can be removed at any time.

Propagation is typically done through seeds sown directly outdoors in spring after the last frost. Seeds can be scarified or soaked in warm water for a few hours to improve germination rates.

It can also spread via natural reseeding.

Repotting is not a common practice for Kummerowia striata, as it is often grown as an annual groundcover or in its natural habitat. If grown in a container and it becomes root-bound, repot in the spring to a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
