Plants will thrive in windy, sandy coastal gardens. Ideal companion plants to complement Jordaaniella cuprea would be Aloe arenicola (strandveld aloe) for its attractive foliage and Cotyledon orbiculata (pig's ear) for its interesting foliage and flowers (van Jaarsveld 2000).

Propagate it by lifting rooted runners, or from cuttings. Plant the cuttings at the beginning of the growing season to save water. These plants are adaptable and can be planted at any time of the year as long as sufficient moisture is provided for successful rooting. Cuttings 100 to 150 mm in length are suitable. The cuttings are usually taken in midsummer, once the capsules have hardened. Rooting takes place within a month and the plants may provide a show the following spring. The cuttings can either be planted directly into the beds or first rooted in sand and planted out in autumn. The plant multiplies so easily it can soon become untidy, so it needs re-propagation. When this happens the soil could be improved by adding compost, ample bone meal or fertilizers (Smith et. al 1988).

Sow seed in winter in a shallow tray, in sandy well-drained soil, in between the small stones that have been sifted. Water the tray with a fine mist sprayer; keep the soil medium moist and place in a sunny position. After two weeks the seed should start to germinate. Once the seedlings are large enough they can be planted out in 1 part river sand: 0.5 part loam.

White scale is a pest of this plant and can be controlled by using horticultural-based oil.
