Water: Macacaporanga thrives in high humidity and prefers consistently moist soil without waterlogging. Weekly watering helps maintain its hydration. As an indoor plant, it struggles with dry air, especially in winter, making humidity control essential for its health.

Pruning: Macacaporanga thrives in tropical areas and features small flowers and aromatic leaves. Prune in early to late winter to strengthen structure, remove dead branches, and improve air circulation. Regular pruning promotes healthy growth, enhances shape, and helps prevent pest and disease issues.

Propagation: Macacaporanga can be propagated using semi-hardwood cuttings with multiple nodes, cut diagonally to enhance rooting. Applying rooting hormone and placing in a sterile, well-draining medium with high humidity and indirect light promotes successful root establishment. Consistent moisture and warmth are crucial during this process.
