Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months to prevent root rot, but never allow the soil to dry out completely. Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.

Prune to maintain shape and size, and to remove any dead or leggy stems. Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This encourages bushier growth.

Propagate Marcgravia caudata from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy stems, remove lower leaves, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.

Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep consistently moist and warm, ideally with bottom heat.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repotting is best done in spring as new growth begins.
