Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Persoonia lanceolata prefers well-draining soil and dislikes waterlogged conditions.

Reduce watering frequency during winter months to prevent root rot, but do not allow the soil to become completely dry.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Heavy pruning is usually not necessary and can stress the plant.

Early pruning can help establish a desirable structure.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or autumn. Use a rooting hormone to improve success rates.

Plant cuttings in a well-draining medium and keep them moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots form.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound, typically in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for Australian natives.

Mature plants generally prefer to be left undisturbed and can be top-dressed instead.
