Aptenia cordifolia prefers a sunny to partially shaded position. It can tolerate some shade, but bright, strong light promotes better flowering.
It prefers temperatures between 15°C and 27°C. It can tolerate lower temperatures, but it is sensitive to frost.

Use well-drained soil.
Repot the plant every two to three years in spring, choosing a slightly larger pot.
