Water Cavanillesia chicamochae sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a primary cause of root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during cooler, dormant periods to prevent fungal issues. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions.

Pruning of Cavanillesia chicamochae should be minimal, primarily focused on removing dead, damaged, or diseased branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can stress the plant.

If shaping is necessary, make clean cuts at the branch collar during the active growing season.

Propagation of Cavanillesia chicamochae is typically done by seeds. Seeds require warm temperatures and consistent moisture for germination. Scarification or soaking may improve germination rates.

Cuttings are generally difficult to root for this species.

Repot Cavanillesia chicamochae only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years, or when the roots have significantly filled the pot. Use a well-draining potting mix. Handle the root ball gently to avoid damage.

Repotting is best done in the spring before active growth begins.
