Water Psychotria acutiflora moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months but do not let the soil dry out completely.

Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Prune Psychotria acutiflora to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage bushier growth.

Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagate Psychotria acutiflora from seeds or stem cuttings. Seeds require warm temperatures and consistent moisture for germination.

Cuttings should be taken from healthy, mature stems, treated with rooting hormone, and placed in a moist, well-draining medium under high humidity.

Repot Psychotria acutiflora every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a peat-based blend with added perlite or sand.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excess moisture retention.
