Anagyris foetida is drought-tolerant once established. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in poorly draining soils.

Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent waterlogging and fungal issues.

Prune Anagyris foetida primarily to maintain its shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it may not respond well and can stress the plant. Aim for a naturalistic form.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which may require scarification or stratification to improve germination rates. Sow seeds in spring in a well-draining potting mix.

Cuttings are less common and can be challenging to root. Patience is key for successful propagation.

Anagyris foetida prefers to be slightly root-bound and dislikes frequent repotting. Repot only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years, in spring before new growth begins.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, to ensure adequate aeration and prevent water retention.
