Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. This plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it receives adequate light and humidity.Bodem

Repot Dioon spinulosum every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, place it in the new pot with fresh soil, and water thoroughly.Voortplanting
Dioon spinulosum can be propagated from seeds or offsets. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining soil mix and kept warm and moist until they germinate. Offsets can be removed from the parent plant and potted separately. Ensure the offsets have a few roots before potting them.Snoeien
