Marquesia acuminata prefers consistently moist soil but not waterlogged conditions. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage in its pot or planting location.

Prune Marquesia acuminata to maintain desired shape and size, or to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best performed in late spring or early summer after flowering. Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagation is typically achieved through seeds, which require stratification before sowing. Cuttings can also be attempted, but success rates may vary.

Take semi-hardwood cuttings in late summer and root them in a well-draining medium, providing warmth and humidity.

Repot Marquesia acuminata when it becomes root-bound, usually every 2-3 years. 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. Repot in spring before new growth begins.
