Coccoloba acapulcensis prefers consistently moist soil but can tolerate brief dry periods. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months or when the plant is less actively growing.

Prune Coccoloba acapulcensis primarily to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Avoid heavy pruning, which can stress the plant. Remove any crossing or rubbing branches.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which require stratification before sowing. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours, then sow in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm.

Cuttings are also possible but can be more challenging; use rooting hormone and provide consistent humidity.

Younger plants may benefit from repotting every 2-3 years into a slightly larger container. Choose a pot with adequate drainage. Repot in spring before the active growing season.

Mature plants in the ground generally do not require repotting. Ensure the new pot isn't excessively large.
