Tephrosia acaciifolia prefers to dry out slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in cooler months, especially if kept indoors.

Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Prune Tephrosia acaciifolia in early spring before new growth begins. This helps maintain a compact shape and encourages bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pinching can also promote denser foliage.

Propagation is typically done from seed sown in spring. Seeds may benefit from scarification or soaking before sowing. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, but germination from seed is more common.

Repot Tephrosia acaciifolia every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid over-potting.
