Lophomyrtus bullata prefers consistently moist soil, especially during its active growing season. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.

Reduce watering slightly in cooler months but avoid letting the soil completely dry out, as this can stress the plant. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune Lophomyrtus bullata in late spring or early summer after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can also be done to shape the plant for hedges or decorative forms. Avoid heavy pruning.

Lophomyrtus bullata can be propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut ends in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining propagation mix.

Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light until roots have formed.

Repot Lophomyrtus bullata every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Spring is the ideal time for repotting, preferably in early spring before new growth begins.

Use a slightly larger pot with a good quality, well-draining potting mix. Water well after repotting.
