Licaria cannella prefers consistently moist soil but not waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid stagnant water.

Prune Licaria cannella to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done year-round.

For more significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagate Licaria cannella from seeds or semi-hardwood cuttings. Seeds require stratification and can be slow to germinate.

Cuttings should be taken in summer, treated with rooting hormone, and planted in a well-draining medium. Maintain high humidity and warmth for successful rooting.

Repot Licaria cannella 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 one containing peat moss and perlite.

Repotting is best done in spring.
