Water Philotheca ciliata thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, especially in pots.

Prune Philotheca ciliata lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or crossing branches to improve air circulation.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant and reduce flowering.

Propagate Philotheca ciliata from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots develop.

Repot Philotheca ciliata every 2-3 years, or when root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention.
