Water regularly during the first year to establish a strong root system. Once established, Grey-leaved Cistus is highly drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out between waterings.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure well-draining soil and reduce watering significantly in cooler months.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems at any time.

Light pruning can be done to control size, but avoid hard pruning into old wood as it may not recover well. Aim to enhance the plant's natural, somewhat spreading form.

Seeds can be sown in spring, requiring stratification for best germination. Cuttings are more reliable, taken from semi-ripe wood in late summer or early autumn.

Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium in a protected, humid environment until established.

Cistus albidus generally dislikes being disturbed once established and is best left in its final position. If repotting is absolutely necessary, do so in spring before new growth begins.

Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix and water sparingly afterwards. Minimal root disturbance is key for success.
