Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant winter months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid stagnant water.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Heavy pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This helps in shaping and promoting better bloom production.

Propagate Brunfelsia australis from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining, moist potting mix.

Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light until they root, which can take several weeks.

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

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging and encourage healthy root development.
