Water: Camellia euphlebia requires consistently moist soil, especially in spring and summer, needing water every 1-2 days. In autumn and winter, reduce watering to twice a month. Water in the morning or evening during warm months; rainwater or distilled water is preferred. Cover with 3 in of bark to maintain humidity.

Fertilize: Fertilize camellia euphlebia appropriately during growth. No fertilization needed right after repotting. In summer, apply slow-release nitrogenous fertilizer once, and phosphate-potassium fertilizer 1-2 times before blooming. Over-fertilization can cause yellow leaves and stagnation, while insufficient fertilizer leads to slow growth and small leaves.

Pruning: Camellia euphlebia thrives with early spring pruning, which involves removing damaged branches and thinning overcrowded areas for better air circulation and light. Carefully shaping the plant enhances its form, while proper timing encourages blooms and wards off disease, promoting overall health and aesthetics.

Propagation: Propagation of camellia euphlebia can be achieved through methods like cutting, grafting, layering, sowing, and tissue culture. Cutting, primarily practiced in summer and winter, thrives in warm and moist conditions for enhanced rooting and sprouting, boosting the survival rate.
