Aquilaria hirta prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to maintain optimal soil moisture levels.

Prune Aquilaria hirta to shape the plant, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done any time of year. For more significant shaping, prune in late spring after flowering.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Propagation of Aquilaria hirta is typically done through stem cuttings. Select healthy, semi-hardwood cuttings in spring or summer.

Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining, sterile potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth to encourage root development.

Repot Aquilaria hirta every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one, ensuring it has adequate drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and sand. Repot in spring.
