Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage to avoid excess moisture.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged stems. Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best performed in early spring before new growth begins.

This encourages bushier growth and can help improve air circulation.

Propagate Mostuea muricata from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone to improve success rates.

Plant the cuttings in well-draining soil or a peat-based mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light until roots develop.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Water thoroughly after repotting to help settle the soil.
