Daphniphyllum macropodum prefers consistent moisture. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, ensuring the soil does not completely dry out. Reduce watering in cooler months.

Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. Aim for moist, but not saturated, soil.

Prune Daphniphyllum macropodum lightly to maintain its shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. The best time for pruning is late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce flowering and fruiting.

Propagation is typically done by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or hardwood cuttings in late autumn. Root cuttings in a well-draining medium under mist or in a propagator with bottom heat.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown in autumn, but germination may be slow and erratic.

Young plants may benefit from repotting every 2-3 years into a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Mature plants in the ground rarely need repotting.

Repot in early spring before new growth appears, handling the root ball gently.
