Water Salacia bussei moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings to mimic its natural conditions.

Prune Salacia bussei lightly to maintain its shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Heavy pruning is generally not necessary unless the plant has become overgrown.

Propagation of Salacia bussei is typically done through semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining potting mix.

Maintain consistent moisture and warmth for successful rooting.

Repot Salacia bussei every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound, preferably in the spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.

Ensure good drainage holes.
