Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.

Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Prune Maranthes glabra to maintain its shape and size, or to remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done at any time of year, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Propagation is typically done through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or summer, dip them in rooting hormone, and plant them in moist potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots develop.

Repot Maranthes glabra every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Spring is the ideal time for repotting.
