Couepia bracteosa prefers consistent moisture but can tolerate short dry spells once established. Water deeply when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods.

Pruning is typically minimal for Couepia bracteosa, primarily focused on removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain structural integrity and shape. Perform pruning in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to minimize stress and sap loss.

Propagation is usually achieved through seeds, which may require scarification or stratification to break dormancy. Cuttings can be attempted but are often challenging to root.

Patience is key for successful propagation of this species.

Repotting is generally only necessary for young, container-grown plants to provide more space for root development. Choose a well-draining potting mix. Avoid disturbing the root ball excessively.

Mature trees are best left in their established locations.
