Water: Casearia velutina is drought-tolerant, thriving in environments with sporadic moisture. It needs watering every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry. Preferring outdoor growth, casearia velutina benefits from seasonal rains, demonstrating robust growth when sufficient water is available.

Fertilize: Casearia velutina requires balanced fertilization every 6-8 weeks during growth, with high nitrogen early on for vigorous growth and flowering. Adjust application in winter; over-fertilizing can damage casearia velutina. Use liquid or slow-release fertilizers for even distribution and to avoid root burn.

Pruning: Casearia velutina features lush foliage and resilience. Prune dead or overcrowded branches between early and late winter to enhance air circulation and promote denser growth. Regular pruning fosters a vigorous plant. Consult horticultural guides for optimal practices.

Propagation: Casearia velutina propagates efficiently through cuttings, leveraging its rooting potential. Use stem cuttings with clean, diagonal cuts, and place them in a well-draining, nutrient-rich medium. Maintain conditions that reduce moisture loss, providing warmth and indirect light for successful growth.
