Pruning: Club beak thrives with early spring pruning, enhancing growth and health. Essential techniques include removing dead or diseased wood, thinning branches for airflow, and shaping for balance, which promotes new shoots and reduces pest and disease risks for a vibrant, well-maintained plant.

Propagation: Club beak can be propagated via cuttings from healthy parent plants, ensuring vigorous growth. Use a well-draining soil mix with proper moisture for rooting, potentially aided by rooting hormones. Aftercare is essential for acclimatizing new plants to their growing conditions.
