Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.

Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage.

Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Strombosia nana generally has a compact growth habit, so heavy pruning is rarely necessary.

Pinching back tips can encourage bushier growth if desired.

Propagation is typically done through semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining medium, such as a mix of peat and perlite, under humid conditions with bottom heat.

Patience is key, as rooting can be slow.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.

Handle the root ball gently.
