Water regularly once the soil has dried out. While Waltheria bahamensis prefers consistent moisture, it is drought-tolerant. Avoid waterlogging, especially during cooler months, to prevent root rot.

Reduce watering frequency in winter.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Lightly trim back stems in spring or after flowering to remove dead or leggy branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can stress the plant.

Pinching young shoots can also promote a fuller habit.

Propagate from seeds or cuttings. Sow seeds in spring in well-draining soil. Semi-hardwood cuttings can be taken in summer and rooted in moist potting mix. Rooted cuttings will establish into new plants over time.

Repot only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years. Waltheria bahamensis prefers to be slightly root-bound. Choose a pot with good drainage and use a well-draining potting mix.

Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
