Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before the new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.
Propagate Amazon Rosewood from seeds or stem cuttings. Seeds require specific stratification and germination conditions. Stem cuttings are best taken in spring or summer.
Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Maintain high humidity and warmth.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
The best time to repot is in spring, just as new growth begins to emerge.
