Barleria scindens can be propagated from seed or from cuttings. It grows easily from seed. Collect the fruit as soon as it turns brown, otherwise the capsules explode and the seeds are lost. Sow the seeds on the surface of a good soil, compost and sand mix in a ratio of 2:1:1, pressing them slightly into the surface. Place in 40 % shade and water once a week with a fine sprinkler. Germination takes place after a week or two. Seedlings should be transplanted when they are about 200 mm high.

Take cuttings from partially matured wood, 60 mm long, dip the bottom part of the cutting into hormone powder and plant the cuttings in a mixture of soil, compost and river sand in a ratio of 3:2:1. The ideal temperature for optimal root development is 15-28ºC. Keep the cuttings in a shady spot and water twice a week.

The plants require full sun to semi-shade and should be planted in sandy to loamy soils. Mix 500 g of compost with 50 g of superphosphate, working it into the soil to improve the growth of the plants. A moderate amount of water is required and these plants do rather well in the dry season, thus a perfect choice for a water-wise garden and the rehabilitation of disturbed areas. The growing tempo is fast and they need to be pruned back after the flowering season.

No known pests or diseases are encountered.
