Water Plukenetia decidua regularly, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings.

Reduce watering during cooler months or if the plant is in a dormant state, but never let the soil become completely dry.

Prune Plukenetia decidua to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, while heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Plukenetia decidua can be propagated from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy, non-flowering shoots in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix.

Keep in a warm, humid environment until roots form.

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

Repotting is best done in early spring before the start of the active growing season.
