Water Clerodendrum infortunatum regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during its active growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering in cooler months, but do not let the soil become completely dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune Clerodendrum infortunatum to maintain its shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flowers regularly. Hard pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches to improve air circulation.

Propagate Clerodendrum infortunatum from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or from seeds sown in spring. Cuttings can be rooted in moist, well-draining potting mix.

Seeds require warmth and consistent moisture to germinate. Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot Clerodendrum infortunatum every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is one size larger than the current one, with fresh, well-draining potting soil.

Repotting is best done in spring, just as new growth emerges, to minimize transplant shock.
