Water Pseuderucaria clavata thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain away to prevent waterlogging. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months to avoid root rot.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune Pseuderucaria clavata lightly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. This can be done in late spring or early summer after flowering. Avoid heavy pruning.
Propagate Pseuderucaria clavata from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, bright location.
Repot Pseuderucaria clavata every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one. Repot in spring before new growth begins.
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.
