Water moderately when the soil is dry to the touch during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly in fall and winter, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Pruning is generally minimal. Remove dead or damaged leaves and flower stalks as needed. To maintain shape or control size, prune after flowering. Use clean, sharp tools to make cuts close to the base of the plant.

Propagate by seed or offsets. Seeds can be sown in spring after a period of cold stratification.

Offsets (pups) that form at the base of the plant can be carefully separated and replanted after they have developed some roots. Ensure the offsets are dry before replanting.

Repot only when necessary, typically when the plant becomes root-bound. This is infrequent as Hesperaloe funifera prefers to be slightly constricted. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Repot in spring.
