Water Vesalea mexicana regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

In warmer months, increase watering frequency, and reduce it during cooler, dormant periods to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune Vesalea mexicana to maintain its shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, 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.

Vesalea mexicana can be propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Select healthy stems, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant them in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots form.

Repot Vesalea mexicana every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one, using a well-draining potting mix.

The best time for repotting is in spring, just as new growth is starting.
