Many plants native to high latitudes do not have a positive flowering response to lower coastal latitudes, i.e. plants that grow naturally high in the mountains often fail to thrive and do not produce flowers when they are grown at sea level, near the coast.

Esterhuysenia inclaudens is not a commonly cultivated plant and may require some grower’s intuition. Like many mesembs, E. inclaudens can be grown from cuttings or seeds. Autumn is the ideal season to sow seed, and treating the seed with a smoke primer would improve germination success. If cuttings are being used, ensure that they are 6–10 mm in length.

Given the specific habitat of Esterhuysenia inclaudens, potting it in a well-drained, sandy soil mixture would give the best results. Provide full sun exposure and a consistent watering schedule without overwatering. When pruning the shrub, use the cuttings to propagate new plants.
