Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Clavija domingensis prefers consistent moisture but dislikes waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods, allowing the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings.

Prune lightly to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged stems. The best time for pruning is in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Pinch back the tips of young plants to encourage bushier growth.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which require warm temperatures and consistent moisture for germination. Cuttings can also be taken from mature stems, ideally in spring or summer.

Rooting can be slow and may require the use of rooting hormones and a humid environment.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid over-potting, which can retain too much moisture.
