Water Dombeya wallichii thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogging. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, as this plant dislikes consistently wet conditions.

Overwatering is a common mistake, so err on the side of caution.

Prune Dombeya wallichii after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or overgrown branches. Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Deadheading spent flowers will prevent seed production and direct energy into new blooms.

Propagate Dombeya wallichii from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone to improve success rates. Place cuttings in a well-draining potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring, but may not come true to type.

Repot Dombeya wallichii every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Spring is the ideal time for repotting, just before the active growing season begins.
