Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings.

Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, which can lead to root rot.

Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done at any time of year. For more significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This encourages bushier growth and maintains a desired size.

Propagate Nectandra angustifolia from seeds sown fresh, as they may lose viability quickly. Stratification might be beneficial.

Semi-hardwood cuttings can also be taken in late summer or early autumn and treated with rooting hormone. Ensure good drainage for cuttings.

Repot young plants annually in spring to ensure adequate space for root growth. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil, perlite, and compost.

Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
