Seeds or cuttings can be utilised for propagation. Stem cuttings can be taken at any time of the year. Select cuttings from healthy, vigorous plants. Take cuttings from the soft-wooded stems. A rooting hormone can be applied to enhance the rooting process. Place cuttings in a container filled with river sand. Keep cuttings moist and place them in either a cold frame or a place with adequate sunlight. The cuttings take approximately 3 weeks to root. Once rooted, the cutting can be transplanted into a container filled with a well-drained soil mix.

To propagate from seeds, sow the seeds in autumn or late summer. Fill a container with a well-drained soil mix. Spread the seeds evenly on the surface of the soil mix and cover with a thin layer of river sand. Place the seeds in light to medium shade and water with a fine spray. Seeds will germinate in approximately 2-3 weeks.

This pelargonium will grow well in a rockery. In a garden it will do best if grown in similar arid conditions as its natural habitat. It grows naturally in sandy soil in rocky places. It should be planted in a well-drained soil mix in a sunny position.

Pelargonium exstipulatum should best be planted with other plants that do not require much water. It is ideal for a water-wise garden.
