Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as Synsepalum cerasiferum prefers well-draining conditions. Reduce watering frequency during cooler, dormant periods in winter.

Ensure good drainage in pots to prevent root rot.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pinch back new growth tips to promote a more compact form.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining, moist medium. Maintain high humidity and warmth to encourage root development.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Repot in spring before new growth begins to minimize transplant shock.
