Agonandra obtusifolia prefers consistently moist soil but can tolerate brief periods of dryness. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler, less active growth periods.

Prune Agonandra obtusifolia to maintain its shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done anytime.

For more significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.

Agonandra obtusifolia can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Seeds require stratification and can be slow to germinate.

Semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer root best when treated with rooting hormone and kept in a humid environment with bottom heat.

Repot Agonandra obtusifolia every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins to minimize stress.
