Amphilophium FrutescensAmphilophium frutescens

Water Amphilophium frutescens regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the growing season.

Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot.

Prune Amphilophium frutescens in late winter or early spring to shape the plant, remove dead or damaged stems, and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back young shoots to promote branching and a more compact form.

Propagate Amphilophium frutescens from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut ends in rooting hormone and plant them in a moist, well-draining potting mix. Keep them warm and humid until roots develop.

Repot Amphilophium frutescens every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring before new growth begins.
