Watering for Peltoboykinia watanabei should be done regularly, usually at least once per week. It is important to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. When watering, soak the soil until the top inch or so is moist. Allow the soil to dry out a bit between waterings, and avoid wetting the leaves. In particularly hot weather, plants may need additional water, but try to avoid frequent light sprayings of water, as this can lead to fungal diseases. During the winter months, water less frequently, usually about once a month or less often.

Peltoboykinia watanabei is a plant species native to Japan and requires direct sunlight for at least 6 hours per day to thrive. This plant does best when receiving a majority of its sunlight during the morning hours. During the afternoon, it is best to shade the plant from intense late day sunlight as this could cause scorching of the plant's leaves. Peltoboykinia watanabei should be placed in an area that receives plenty of direct sunshine for the majority of the day. Additionally, in the summer months, or when temperatures are particularly high, it is best to move the plant indoors or to a shaded area to avoid potential burning of the leaves.

Peltoboykinia watanabei should be pruned with care as the sharp tips of its leaves can potentially cause injuries. Pruning should take place during the warmer months, typically from spring through autumn, when the plant is actively growing. It is best to prune when the new growth is still soft and young. All dead, diseased, or damaged branches and sections should be removed to allow sunlight to reach the centre of the plant. Light pruning is needed to promote a more dense, mounded shape and to increase air circulation throughout the plant. The plants can be pinched back or cut back to the desired size and shape. Pruning should be light, as too much pruning can cause damage or inhibit new growth.
