Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as Calliandra antioquiae prefers well-draining soil. Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage in pots to maintain healthy root systems.

Prune lightly after flowering to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or crossing branches.

Heavy pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to invigorate the plant.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Keep moist and warm, providing bright, indirect light.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil, perlite, and sand.

Repot in spring before the active growing season commences to minimize stress.
