Conophytum obcordellum is cultivated as an ornamental. In temperate zones it must normally be grown under glass, as it does not tolerate freezing temperatures. Plants require similar conditions to cactus plants, grown in a free-draining medium with full sun and low moisture levels. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[5]
