When grown outdoors it needs little watering, and larger plants typically do not require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be pruned after they have finished blooming.

How to keep Geoffroea Spinosa.
Light
Chañar comes from open habitats, such as sunny meadows and forest edges, which provide abundant light. It thrives in full sun but can also tolerate partial sun, adapting well to a range of light conditions.
Temperature
Chañar shows good adaptability to temperature, tolerating higher heat and wide temperature swings. In hot weather, it is important to monitor watering and provide adequate shade to prevent sunburn. However, Chañar is relatively sensitive to low temperatures. While it can endure some cold, very cold conditions can cause frost damage.
Fertilizer
The Chañar plant needs adequate nutrients to achieve optimal fruit production. Fertilize in early spring to encourage new growth and bloom development. Regular fertilization helps the plant stay healthy, produce more flavorful fruit, and prevents nutrient-deficiency problems like yellowing leaves and poor fruit production.
