Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering during cooler months to prevent waterlogging. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in container cultivation.

Overwatering is a common mistake.

Prune lightly to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Remove spent flowers to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance.

Propagate Pera bicolor from seeds sown in spring, or by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds require warm temperatures for germination.

Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium in a humid environment, ideally with bottom heat.

Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid excessive moisture retention.

Repot in spring.
