Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Turraea floribunda regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogging.
Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in potted specimens.
Prune Turraea floribunda lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Significant pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate Turraea floribunda from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light until they root.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when they become root-bound. Use a good quality, free-draining potting compost and a pot slightly larger than the previous one.
