Bellucia aequiloba prefers consistently moist soil. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but never let the soil dry out completely. Ensure good drainage in its pot.

Prune Bellucia aequiloba to maintain desired shape and size, or to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Light pruning can encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which require stratification before sowing. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, but rooting can be challenging.

Ensure cuttings are taken from healthy parent plants and use a rooting hormone.

Repot Bellucia aequiloba every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one, with adequate drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.
