Water thoroughly when the top 5-7 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter months when the plant is less active.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, especially for young plants.

Pruning is generally not required for Araucaria bidwillii unless to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. If shaping is necessary, do so sparingly in late winter or early spring.

Avoid excessive pruning, as it can lead to sap leakage and stress the tree.

Propagation is best done from seed. Seeds require stratification, often needing a period of cold treatment before sowing. Germination can be slow and erratic.

Cuttings are difficult to root and are not a common method for propagation in cultivation.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when root-bound. Mature trees are best left undisturbed. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of loam, sand, and peat.

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