Dracosciadium is easily propagated by both seed and root cuttings. Seed does not require any special treatment and germinates readily if kept moist. Suckers or pieces of rootstock placed in a well-drained medium such as sand and watered regularly develop a healthy root system within a few weeks and the plant can be potted up into a pine-bark medium or potting soil.

The plant is a good container subject (Scott-Shaw 1999).

The delicate shape of the leaves contrasts well with grasses and kniphofias. We have a mixed planting at Natal Gardens consisting of cycads, dracosciadiums and flame lilies, which provide an interesting and attractive mix of textures.

The plants are prone to red spider mite in late summer but this can be controlled with appropriate pesticides.
