Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as Dodonaea amblyophylla prefers well-drained conditions. Reduce watering frequency during winter months to prevent root rot.
Ensure pots have adequate drainage holes.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as Dodonaea amblyophylla prefers well-drained conditions. Reduce watering frequency during winter months to prevent root rot.
Ensure pots have adequate drainage holes.
Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. This species generally requires minimal pruning.
Heavy pruning can be done after flowering if needed to control size, but avoid cutting into old wood.
Propagate from seeds sown in spring, or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification.
Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept in a warm, humid environment until established.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years as needed, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging.
