Water Dombeya X regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the growing season.
Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent root rot.
Prune Dombeya X after flowering to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime to maintain size and form.
Heavy pruning may be needed to rejuvenate older plants.
Propagate Dombeya X from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots develop.
Repot Dombeya X every 1-2 years in spring, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one with adequate drainage holes. Use a fresh, well-draining potting mix to provide new nutrients.
