Water Tristellateia dulcamara moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter to allow the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune Tristellateia dulcamara to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Light pruning can be done anytime to remove dead or stray branches.
More significant pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any weak or crossing stems.
Propagate Tristellateia dulcamara from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Select healthy shoots, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and warm, and they should root within a few weeks. Mist regularly.
Repot Tristellateia dulcamara every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. The best time to repot is in spring before the active growing season starts.
Use a well-draining potting mix, and choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid overwatering issues.
