Water Orthosiphon adenocaulis regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering in winter when the plant's growth slows down.
Prune Orthosiphon adenocaulis in early spring to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Pinch back the tips of new shoots to promote a more compact form.
Propagate Orthosiphon adenocaulis from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Insert cuttings into a moist, well-draining potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment until roots form.
Repot Orthosiphon adenocaulis every two to three years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring.
