Anastatica hierochuntica is a desert plant that thrives on infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, which is detrimental to this species.

In its native arid environment, it receives very little moisture, relying on dew and infrequent rainfall.

Pruning is generally not required for Anastatica hierochuntica, as it is a small, ephemeral annual. Any dead or dried-out foliage can be removed to maintain a tidy appearance, but structural pruning is unnecessary.

The plant naturally completes its life cycle and dries out.

Propagation is primarily through seed. Seeds are best sown directly in well-draining soil after the last frost. They require warmth and light to germinate.

Scarification or stratification is typically not needed; simply sow on the surface and keep lightly moist until germination.

Anastatica hierochuntica is an annual plant and is not typically repotted. It completes its life cycle within a single growing season and then dries out.

If grown in a container, it is usually discarded after its life cycle is complete, and new seeds are sown for the following year.
