Water Millettia capuronii regularly, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering during cooler months when growth slows to prevent overwatering.
Prune Millettia capuronii in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and encourage vigorous flowering.
Lightly shape the plant to control size and promote bushiness.
Propagate Millettia capuronii from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone to improve success rates.
Plant cuttings in a well-draining, moist medium and maintain high humidity until roots develop, typically within a few weeks.
Repot Millettia capuronii every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of loam, sand, and compost, to ensure good aeration for the roots.
