Chaenostoma hispidum is easily propagated and responds best when it is vegetatively propagated from tip and stem cuttings, preferably taken in summer (mid-October to mid-February). Use a root-stimulating hormone for soft cuttings; take cuttings from a healthy, disease free, vigorous mother stock, preferably at the coolest time of the day (morning or afternoon), to prevent water loss.

Use a well-drained and aerated rooting medium mixture of 1 part sifted fine bark, 2 part river sand or silica grit or 2 part perlite, and water well. Take cutting below the node with a sharp, sterilized cutting tool and place the cuttings on warm benches at temperature of 22–25ºC, in a moderately humid area or mist house. Rooting should take place after 4–5 weeks. Once cuttings have produced adequate roots, transplant into bigger containers and harden off under a shade cloth to prevent shock, before moving plants into full sun, or planting out in a full sun spot in the garden.

Once the root system has fully developed, prepare your soil; add compost to your garden bed and organic fertilizer to encourage new growth. Mix and aerate the soil to encourage root establishment. Choose a full sun to semi-shade area to plant in autumn to winter time (April, May or June) or during the rainy season, to prevent excessive use of water.
