Grow Eumophia prostrata in a sunny spot where the soil drains well, in order to prevent overwatering. The plant is drought-, wind- and frost tolerant when established.

The silvery leaves of these plants provide for a nice contrast when planted among other plants with dark green and more colourful leaves. Feed with well-rotted compost or moderate amounts of organic fertilisers in spring. Prune after flowering to shape, although it needs little attention once established. Use as a groundcover, edging plant, in borders. It is recommended for rockeries, terraces, retaining walls, and hanging baskets or tubs. Suitable for alpine gardens, fynbos gardens, Mediterranean gardens and contemporary gardens.

Plants can be easily propagated from cuttings or seed. Take the cuttings in spring or early summer, before the flowering season (January–April). Make tip cuttings about 70–80 mm long. Use a semi-hardwood hormone powder to encourage root development. Use a sterile, well-drained soil mix to grow your cuttings, e.g.: 50% fine milled bark and 50% polystyrene. Place the cuttings in a warm sheltered area; roots start to develop after a period of four weeks. Pot up the cuttings into a soil mix such as 70% fine bark and 30% coarse river sand (J. Beck pers. Comm. 2015).

The plant is very hardy and easy to grow, however, overwatering may lead to branch- and stem-rotting, therefore plant in well-drained soil and allow for good air circulation to prevent this. Control the size of the plant by regular pruning.
