BrunfelsiaBrunfelsia latifolia

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.

Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, which can lead to root rot.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime to manage size.

Avoid heavy pruning late in the season, as it may reduce the following year's blooms.

Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a moist, well-draining medium.

Keep humid and warm until roots form, typically within 4-6 weeks.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and compost.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
