Water Pittosporum heterophyllum regularly during the growing season, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings.

Reduce watering in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming completely dry. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged roots.

Prune Pittosporum heterophyllum after flowering to maintain shape and size. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done to encourage bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning as it can stimulate excessive vegetative growth.

Propagate Pittosporum heterophyllum from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer. Insert cuttings into a moist, well-draining rooting medium. Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots develop.

Successful propagation requires patience and optimal conditions.

Repot Pittosporum heterophyllum every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Spring is the ideal time for repotting. Use a good quality, free-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid over-potting.
