Medicago X prefers consistently moist soil during its active growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings.

Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy to prevent root rot.

Prune Medicago X to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing stems at any time. For rejuvenation, significant pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins.

Medicago X is typically propagated by seed sown in spring. Scarify seeds or soak them in warm water overnight to improve germination rates. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer.

Repot young Medicago X plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
