Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Abutilon fruticosum prefers consistent moisture but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.

Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done throughout the growing season to maintain size and shape and to deadhead spent flowers.

Propagate from softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings taken in spring or summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, keeping them consistently moist and warm.

Alternatively, it can be grown from seed sown in spring, though propagation by cuttings is generally more reliable.

Repot Abutilon fruticosum every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Spring is the ideal time for repotting. Use a well-draining potting mix and a slightly larger container.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
