Water Trattinnickia burserifolia thoroughly when the top 5-8 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain away completely to prevent root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of issues.

Prune Trattinnickia burserifolia to maintain desired shape and size, or to remove any dead or damaged branches. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp pruning tools for a neat cut.

Propagate Trattinnickia burserifolia from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the soil consistently moist and the cuttings in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.

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

Repotting is best done in spring, just as new growth begins.
