Cordiera garapatica prefers consistently moist soil. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but do not allow the soil to dry out completely.

Prune Cordiera garapatica to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This also helps in controlling the plant's size.

Propagate Cordiera garapatica from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots, cut them to about 10-15 cm, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.

Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep moist and humid until roots form.

Repot Cordiera garapatica every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.

Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins.
