Water Markhamia stipulata regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune Markhamia stipulata to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Pinch back young plants to promote branching.

Propagate Markhamia stipulata from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining medium. Maintain high humidity and consistent moisture until roots develop.

It can also be grown from seed.

Repot Markhamia stipulata every two to three years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
