Tessaria dodonaeifolia prefers well-draining soil and should be watered moderately. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during its active growth period.

Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months to prevent root rot.

Prune Tessaria dodonaeifolia in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth.

Light pruning can also be done after flowering to shape the plant.

Propagation is best done from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Select healthy stems, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Maintain high humidity and consistent moisture until roots develop.

Repot Tessaria dodonaeifolia every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Handle the roots gently to minimize transplant shock.
