Duroia amapana prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but do not allow the soil to dry out completely. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune Duroia amapana to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done anytime. For significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts.

Propagation is typically done by stem cuttings. Take cuttings from healthy, mature stems in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the cuttings consistently moist and warm until roots develop.

Repot Duroia amapana every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Repot in spring, before the active growing season.
