Water Myrcia splendens regularly, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent root rot.

Check the top few centimeters of soil; if dry, it's time to water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom.

Prune Myrcia splendens to maintain its shape, size, and encourage denser growth. Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches.

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

Myrcia splendens can be propagated from seeds or semi-hardwood cuttings. For cuttings, take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy growth, dip in rooting hormone, and plant in a moist, well-draining medium.

Maintain high humidity and warmth for successful rooting.

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

Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins.
