Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during cooler winter months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water around the roots.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage bushier growth. Light pruning can be done at any time of year. For significant shaping, prune in early spring before new growth emerges.

Use clean, sharp secateurs to make precise cuts.

Propagate Fagraea blumei from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Select healthy shoots, cut them below a node, and dip the base in rooting hormone.

Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant 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, perlite, and compost.

Repot in spring before the main growing season begins.
