Water: Ribes fasciculatum requires increased water during mid-spring, late spring, and early summer, especially as the fruit enlarges. Adjust watering based on weather and soil moisture, ensuring to water when the surface is dry, particularly from spring to mid-summer.

Fertilize: In spring, apply fully decomposed organic fertilizer for ribes fasciculatum. Fertilize twice more in early and mid-summer, prioritizing nitrogen and potassium first, followed by phosphorus and potassium. Use slow-release fertilizers judiciously; excessive nitrogen can lead to excessive branch growth, hindering fruit production.

Pruning: Ribes fasciculatum is a deciduous shrub that blooms in early spring. Prune in early spring to remove dead branches and thin congested areas for better air circulation. This promotes healthy growth and flowering. Always use clean, sharp tools for effective pruning and disease prevention.

Propagation: Propagate ribes fasciculatum using cuttings from a one-year-old basal shoot, 15-20 cm long with two buds. Cut before budding in spring or after leaf fall in fall. Plant immediately, ensuring soil is moist. Roots typically establish in 2-3 weeks; check periodically.
