Water: Ribes komarovii needs increased water during three critical growth phases: mid-spring for new growth, late spring for fruiting, and early summer for fruit growth. Additionally, adjust watering based on weather and soil moisture, watering when the surface is dry from spring to mid-summer.

Fertilize: In spring, apply fully decomposed organic fertilizer as a base. Fertilize twice more in early and mid-summer, emphasizing nitrogen and potassium first, then phosphorus and potassium. Use slow-release fertilizers cautiously, avoiding excess nitrogen to prevent excessive branch growth, which can hinder fruit production.

Pruning: Ribes komarovii needs early spring pruning to remove dead wood and promote growth. Thinning crowded branches improves air circulation and reduces diseases. Light shaping after flowering enhances fruit production. Use clean, sharp tools to ensure plant health and prevent disease transmission.

Propagation: To propagate ribes komarovii, use a strong, 15-20 cm cutting from a one-year-old shoot. Plant immediately, ensuring the top bud is above soil. Keep soil moist; roots develop in 2-3 weeks. For fall planting, apply mulch for winter protection.
