Duroia costaricensis prefers consistent moisture, especially during its active growth phase. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots, which can lead to root rot.

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

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp pruning tools.

Propagation of Duroia costaricensis is typically achieved through stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy stems in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the soil moist and provide warmth and humidity for successful rooting.

Repot Duroia costaricensis every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost. Repot in early spring before the active growing season begins.
