Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, but do not let the soil become completely dry.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune Aglaia elaeagnoidea to maintain its 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 encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning if possible.
Aglaia elaeagnoidea can be propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Select healthy stems, dip them in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and warm, and they should root within a few weeks.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and loam.
Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Water thoroughly after repotting.
