Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent complete desiccation.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged roots, which Combretum laxum dislikes.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and size. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can encourage bushier growth and more blooms.

Heavy pruning is best done in late winter before the new growth begins.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining, moist potting mix.

Maintain high humidity and warmth for successful rooting.

Repot Combretum laxum every 2-3 years in spring, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, sand, and loam.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
