Water Cariniana domestica thoroughly when the top 2-5 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months or when the plant is dormant, but do not let the soil dry out completely.

Prune Cariniana domestica to maintain its shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve air circulation. The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp pruning tools to make precise cuts.

Cariniana domestica can be propagated from seeds sown in well-draining soil in spring. Germination can be slow and irregular.

Softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer can also be rooted under humid conditions with bottom heat.

Repot Cariniana domestica every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring.

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