Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Ochrosia oppositifolia prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Reduce watering during cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid issues.

Prune to maintain shape and size, and to remove any dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This encourages bushier growth.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Maintain high humidity and consistent warmth for best results.

Seeds can also be used, but germination may be slow.

Repot young plants annually or bi-annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting provides fresh nutrients and prevents the plant from becoming root-bound, promoting healthy growth.
