Water Pitavia punctata moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during winter months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings to prevent over-saturation in cooler temperatures.

Prune Pitavia punctata lightly in late winter or early spring to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This helps maintain the plant's shape and encourages healthy new growth.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Pitavia punctata can be propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer. Select healthy stems, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until they root.

Repot Pitavia punctata 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. Repot in early spring before new growth begins.
