Water Cratoxylum cochinchinense regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, especially in cooler months. In hot, dry periods, increase watering frequency.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Consistent moisture is key for healthy development.

Prune Cratoxylum cochinchinense to maintain its shape and size, and to remove dead or diseased branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant. Ensure clean cuts to prevent disease entry.

Propagation is typically done by seeds sown in spring or summer, or by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer. Seeds require warmth and consistent moisture to germinate.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium.

Repot Cratoxylum cochinchinense every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before new growth begins. Water thoroughly after repotting.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid excessive moisture retention.
