Sarcocapnos crassifolia prefers well-draining soil and can tolerate some drought once established. Water thoroughly when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering in winter when the plant is less active.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. This can also help to prevent the plant from becoming leggy.

Major pruning is generally not required.

Propagation is typically done by seed or cuttings. Sow seeds in spring or take softwood cuttings in late spring or early summer. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium in a warm, humid environment.

Seed germination can be slow.

Repot Sarcocapnos crassifolia every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.

Repot in spring before new growth begins.
