Salsola divaricata is highly drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

In containers, water when the top few centimeters of soil are dry. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.

Pruning is typically minimal and mainly for aesthetic purposes or to remove dead or damaged stems. Light shaping can be done after flowering to maintain a desired form.

Avoid heavy pruning, as Salsola divaricata responds best to natural growth habits. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Propagation is primarily achieved through seeds. Sow seeds in early spring, either directly outdoors or in pots. Stratification may improve germination rates.

Cuttings can also be taken from softwood or semi-hardwood in late spring or early summer and rooted in a well-draining medium.

Repotting is generally not required for Salsola divaricata, as it prefers to be slightly root-bound and thrives in well-draining, often lean soils. If grown in a container and it becomes severely root-bound, repot in early spring to a slightly larger pot with a gritty, well-draining mix.
