Commiphora woodii is a fast-growing species that can be propagated both sexually (by seed) and asexually (vegetatively). 

When propagating from seed, remove the red pseudaril before sowing, use a well-drained sowing medium, keep warm and moist. Seed should germinate within about 14 days.

When propagating vegetatively, use a propagation mix of river sand and coarse-milled bark, with sterilized seed trays as your containers. Sterilize your seed trays, cutting tools and medium to avoid your cuttings being infected. Take cuttings from healthy, disease- and pest-free mother plants. Use a sharp, sterilized, cutting tool to make clean cuts. Select the cooler parts of the day to make cuttings, the plant is more resilient during this time. Put the coarse-milled bark as a base in your seed tray to improve drainage, fill up the rest of the tray with river sand. Make truncheon cuttings of around 30–60 cm long and 2–3 cm wide. Make a cut below the node at the base of the cutting, because this is the area where cells are actively dividing. Make a slanted cut above the node at the tip of the cutting to prevent standing water, which can cause die-back. Make sure to remove at least two thirds of the leaves from the lower part of the cutting, to reduce water loss through transpiration. 

Insert your cutting into the river sand and then place your tray in a warm, humid, and moist area until the cuttings have rooted. When the cuttings have properly rooted, transplant them into nursery pots using a mix of 1 part river sand: 1 part sifted bark. Water your plants well and harden them off in a semi-shaded area. Apply a slow-release fertilizer that will promote further growth of your plant. The plant can be planted out into the garden when leaves and branches are well developed. 

Commiphora woodii can also be propagated by truncheon cuttings planted directly into the ground, and, where branches are used as fencing poles they often root and grow.
