Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Searsia acocksii prefers well-draining soil and is moderately drought-tolerant once established.

Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot, especially in cooler months. Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and control size. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Pinch back young shoots to encourage bushier growth.

Propagation is typically done from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.

Seeds can also be sown in spring.

Repot Searsia acocksii every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring before the start of the active growing season.
