Tephrosia kraussiana is relatively easy to cultivate. Its pinkish-purple flowers will add colour to gardens and will increase biomass production of neighbouring plants due to its soil nitrification characteristics. Plants can grow well in pots or planted out in beds. Plants are best grown from viable seed. Healthy seeds should be selected. Pods which show signs of fungal growth should not be used. Seeds should be immersed in freshly boiled water for approximately thirty seconds in order to break down the hard seed coat and promote imbibition. Seeds can then be transferred into petri dishes/multi-dishes lined with cotton wool and these should be well moistened and stored between 25 and 30ºC.

After approximately 3 days the roots should emerge. After 1.5-2 weeks seeds should be planted out into temporary pots with a soil depth of at least 300 mm, as roots grow rapidly and deep. Soil should be relatively fertile loamy soil which can retain a fair amount of moisture. Seedlings should be transplanted so that roots are fully covered and should be well watered daily for approximately 90 days, after which final transplanting may proceed.
