Pinching back young shoots can also promote a more compact form.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Root cuttings in a well-draining, sterile potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots develop.

Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot Correa backhouseana every two to three years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally containing sand or perlite.
