Antidesma bunius prefers consistently moist soil, especially when young. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering during cooler months, but avoid letting the soil dry out completely.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune Antidesma bunius to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or crossing branches. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Light pruning can be done throughout the year to manage vigor.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which require scarification or soaking before sowing. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer.

Ensure cuttings have at least two nodes and are planted in a well-draining medium.

Repot young Antidesma bunius plants every 1-2 years in spring, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

For mature plants, repotting may be less frequent, typically every 3-5 years, focusing on refreshing the top layer of soil.
