Lycium ameghinoi prefers infrequent watering once established. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in poorly draining soils.

Water deeply when necessary, focusing on the base of the plant to encourage strong root development.

Prune Lycium ameghinoi primarily to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Heavy pruning is usually not required, but can be done after flowering if the plant becomes overgrown or ungainly.

Propagation is typically done through seeds or cuttings. Seeds can be sown in well-draining soil in spring. Cuttings, taken from semi-hardwood in summer, can be rooted in a moist, sterile medium.

Both methods generally yield good results with appropriate care.

Lycium ameghinoi is a resilient plant that does not require frequent repotting. Young plants may benefit from repotting every 1-2 years to ensure adequate space for root growth.

Mature plants are often best left undisturbed in their location, as they tolerate transplanting poorly.
