Leucadendron strobilinum can be grown from seed or cuttings. Sow seeds in autumn in a well-drained medium. Press the seeds into the surface and cover with a thin layer of river sand. Keep the seeds moist. Germination occurs after about 3–4 weeks. After the first set of leaves has developed, the seedlings can be transplanted into a well-drained medium.

To propagate from cuttings use tip cuttings. Remove the leaves from the bottom of the cutting, apply a rooting hormone and place in a well-drained rooting medium of bark and polystyrene . Keep cuttings moist, not wet. Rooting takes about 6 weeks. Harden off for 3 weeks and transplant into individual containers filled with well-draining, acidic soil. Keep root disturbance to a minimum, as the plants are susceptible to Phytophthora, a root pathogen. The plants can be used as a filler in a fynbos garden.
