Water Rauvolfia aphlebia thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely to prevent waterlogging.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months to avoid root rot, but do not let the soil become bone dry.

Prune Rauvolfia aphlebia to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, 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.

This encourages bushier growth.

Rauvolfia aphlebia can be propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots form, typically within several weeks.

Repot Rauvolfia aphlebia every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
