Water Eugenia ligustrina regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler winter months, but never let the plant dry out completely. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune Eugenia ligustrina to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Prune lightly after flowering or in early spring before new growth begins.

Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to improve air circulation and plant health. Heavy pruning can be done to shape it as a hedge.

Propagate Eugenia ligustrina from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the cuttings moist and provide bottom heat for best results. Alternatively, propagation can be done by seed, sown in spring.

Repot Eugenia ligustrina every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one, with adequate drainage holes. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.

Repot in early spring before the active growing season begins.
