Pelargoniums are easily grown and fairly adaptable plants. Pelargonium quercifolium, like most other members of the genus, can easily be grown from either seeds or cuttings. Cuttings can be taken at any time of the year but preferably after flowering and seeding. Take semi-mature stem cuttings, 150 mm long, and apply a rooting hormone to stimulate the rooting process. Place the cuttings into prepared holes made with a wooden dibber or a nail to avoid damaging the ends. The cuttings should be rooted in a cold frame, in a well-drained medium such as coarse river sand. Rooting will take place within four weeks. Once the cuttings have rooted, pot them in a well-drained potting soil mix. Feed the newly rooted cuttings with a liquid seaweed-based fertilizer.

Pelargoniums can also be grown from seed in late summer and early autumn. Sow the seeds in a light, well-drained potting soil mixture. Spread the seeds evenly in the seed tray and cover them with a layer of clean white sand or fine-milled pine bark. Sow the seed at a depth of 2-3 mm. Water thoroughly but gently and provide light shade. Germination usually takes place within 4 weeks. Pelargoniums grown from seed are generally more vigorous than those made from cuttings. They do, however, tend to take longer to produce flowers. Plants grown from seed will show some degree of variation and if a particular form or variant is required it must be propagated vegetatively by cuttings. This species has shown no signs of damage by any pest or disease while in cultivation at Kirstenbosch. This plant can grow easily in any garden as it is fairly adaptable. Prune frequently after blooming to control a sloppy growth habit. It is relatively fast-growing.
