Helichrysum dasyanthum is easily propagated from tip or heel cuttings. Cuttings can be taken year round. The cutting material must be relatively firm, not too immature or soft. The use of a rooting hormone will be beneficial. Place cuttings in a well-drained rooting media such as river sand, silica grit or perlite, and water well. Place in a warm brightly lit area, but out of direct sunlight. Keep the cuttings moist, but not too wet so as not to encourage fungal growth. Cuttings should root within four weeks. Thereafter they can be allowed to grow and establish some roots before potting them up into suitable well-drained potting soil. Young plants can be kept potted initially and once established can be planted into the garden.

Seed can be sown in spring and will require smoke treatment for even germination. Once seedlings have developed four true leaves they can be transplanted and treated as young cuttings. Helichrysum species do not have many pests. In containers, mealy bug and the occasional worm could infest a plant. These can be treated with suitable pest controls or picked off by hand.
