Camphortrees prefer consistently moist soil, especially when young. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.

Reduce watering during dormancy in cooler months but avoid letting the soil become completely parched. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Prune camphortrees to shape them and remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. The best time for major pruning is late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Light pruning can be done throughout the growing season to maintain desired form. Avoid heavy topping.

Camphortrees can be propagated from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium. Patience is key for successful propagation.

Young camphortrees benefit from repotting every 2-3 years in spring, while mature trees can be repotted less frequently. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting helps to refresh the soil and encourage healthy root growth.
