Duroia hirsuta 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, dormant periods.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in container cultivation.

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

This can be done anytime, but major pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools for precise cuts.

Propagate Duroia hirsuta from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early fall. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots form, which can take several weeks.

Repot Duroia hirsuta 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, typically a blend for tropical plants or a general-purpose mix with added perlite. Repot in spring for best results.
