Bulletwood prefers consistently moist soil but can tolerate brief dry periods once established. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler winter months.

Prune Bulletwood primarily to shape young trees or remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Significant pruning is rarely needed for mature specimens.

If shaping, do so in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Ensure cuts are clean and made just outside the branch collar.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which require stratification. Cuttings are also possible but can be challenging to root. Germinate seeds in a well-draining potting mix under warm, humid conditions.

Patience is key for successful propagation of this species.

Repotting is generally only necessary for container-grown young plants. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one when roots begin to fill the existing container, typically every 2-3 years.

Use a well-draining potting mix and repot in spring.
