Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as the Kalahari Appleleaf prefers well-drained conditions. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done in spring to encourage bushier growth.

Heavy pruning is best avoided unless necessary to manage size, as it can stress the plant.

Propagation is typically done by seed, which requires scarification or soaking before sowing. Cuttings can also be attempted, but success rates can vary. Ensure cuttings are taken from healthy, mature stems.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention.

Repot in early spring before new growth begins.
