A lovely compact restio for smaller to medium-sized gardens, in mixed beds, and they even do well as container plants. Or use more traditionally by planting it in a fynbos garden, as companion plants to members of Proteaceae, Ericaceae and Rutaceae. These plants do best grown in full sun, in a well-drained soil and they need plenty of air movement around them. They tolerate a variety of soil types.

The best time for planting Restio is at the beginning of the rainy season, as the plants need regular watering during the first 6 weeks to 2 months after planting, to really establish themselves. After this period, the plants are able to survive with less watering, as they are naturally adapted to a long dry season.

The best way to propagate a restio is from seed and since the seeds in many species are very fine, they need to be handled carefully. Treatment with smoke greatly increases the germination rate of this and many other species of Restionaceae. The seeds are sown in the early winter season when the night temperature drops to 5–10ºC and the day temperature is 15–22ºC. Seed will germinate after 4 to 6 weeks. Treat the sown seeds with a fungicide once a week to prevent fungal infection and keep the trays moist, but not too wet. After germination, seedlings must be planted into plug trays to allow them to form a root ball so that they can grow stronger. Feed them with organic fertilizer to encourage growth. After 6 months, individual seedlings must be transplanted into bags or small pots to grow on.

When transplanted to a garden environment, which normally will have a slightly richer soil than the natural environment, most restios react by growing to a much more attractive and vigorous plant, especially if they are regularly watered.To encourage additional and greener growth, the plants can be lightly fed with standard organic fertilizers.
