Water Salacia senegalensis regularly during its active growth period, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months, but avoid letting the soil become completely dry.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Prune Salacia senegalensis to maintain its shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, while heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This encourages bushier growth.

Propagate Salacia senegalensis from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining medium.

Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots form, which can take several weeks.

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

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