Water Correa reflexa thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during winter months when the plant is less actively growing.

Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Prune after flowering in late spring to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done throughout the year to manage size and remove spent flowers.

Avoid heavy pruning into old wood.

Propagate Correa reflexa from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and insert into a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm, and provide indirect light.

Rooting typically takes several weeks to a few months.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring, moving them into a pot one size larger. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil, perlite, and sand. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
