Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Fagraea ceilanica thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid letting the soil become waterlogged, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, but never allow the soil to dry out completely.
Prune Fagraea ceilanica to maintain its shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Lightly trim back leggy stems in spring.
Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to improve air circulation and plant health. Avoid heavy pruning.
Fagraea ceilanica can be propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant the cuttings in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide bottom heat.
Rooting typically takes several weeks.
Repot Fagraea ceilanica every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.
Repot in spring before new growth begins.
