Water Pittosporum eugenioides regularly when the top 2-5 cm of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering during winter months when the plant is less actively growing. Allow soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Prune Pittosporum eugenioides lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Harder pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This helps encourage denser growth and manage size effectively.

Pittosporum eugenioides can be propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or autumn. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, keeping them moist and warm.

Seeds can also be sown in spring, but germination can be slow and variable. Cuttings generally yield faster results.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years, or when root-bound, typically in spring. Use a good quality, free-draining potting mix. Choose a pot slightly larger than the previous one.

Mature plants may only need repotting every 3-5 years, or can be top-dressed instead.
