Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as Cupaniopsis mackeeana prefers well-draining conditions.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings to prevent root rot.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best undertaken in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Ensure clean cuts with sharp tools.

Propagation is typically done from seed. Seeds may require scarification or a period of stratification to break dormancy. Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix and maintain consistent moisture and warmth.

Germination can be slow and erratic.

Repot young plants annually or when root-bound, typically in spring. For mature plants, repot every 2-3 years.

Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues. Water thoroughly after repotting.
