Water Dombeya borraginea regularly, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering significantly during cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot.

Prune Dombeya borraginea after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Heavy pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins to control size.

Propagate Dombeya borraginea from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut ends in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots form.

Repot Dombeya borraginea every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in early spring before the active growing season commences to minimize transplant shock.
