Water Ochradenus baccatus moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent waterlogged roots.

Overwatering is a common cause of root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Prune Ochradenus baccatus lightly in spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or straggly branches. Significant pruning is usually not necessary, as it is a slow-growing shrub.

Deadheading spent flowers can encourage further blooming.

Propagation is typically done from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer. Seeds require a period of cold stratification before sowing.

Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining compost mix.

Repot Ochradenus baccatus every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Repot in early spring before new growth begins to minimize transplant shock.
