Adromischus umbraticola is one of the easiest species to propagate using leaf cuttings. During its summer growing season, use a clean, disinfected knife to select leaves from a healthy plant. Place the cuttings in a tray filled with well-drained soil, such as sandy soil or gritty loam substrate, with the cut base of the leaf in the soil. Place the trays indoors, where they will receive bright light but not direct sun and water every two weeks in summer. Within approximately a week or two they will be rooted and ready to be potted up.

Plants are easily cultivated in small containers kept indoors and can also be grown outside. They need a sunny or semi-shaded position, in well-drained soil and are ideal for rockeries. They are moderately frost-hardy. Take care not to overwater.

When grown outside, they are often attacked by plant lice (Aphids), caused by over-watering or rain falling in winter. The plant lice  usually go for inflorescences, and one should pay attention to this and treat them by squirting soapy water onto the plant to deter plant lice.
