Water: Wampi thrives in environments with moderate moisture, requiring watering every two weeks. As a deciduous plant, it sheds leaves during dry periods to adapt. Adjusting watering according to seasonal changes enhances its growth and overall health.

Fertilize: Wampi thrives with fertilization that enhances fruiting and vitality. Use high phosphorus fertilizers for flowering, balanced with NPK during growth. Fertilize every 2-3 months, adjusting for size and season. Water well after application and incorporate organic matter annually for better soil health.

Pruning: Wampi is a tropical fruit-bearing plant known for its fragrant flowers and edible fruits. Prune in early to late spring to enhance airflow and growth, cut back overgrown branches, and maintain an open canopy to improve light penetration and pest resistance, fostering robust fruit production.

Propagation: Wampi propagates well with healthy, semi-hardwood cuttings. Use clean tools and rooting hormone, plant in well-draining soil, and maintain consistent moisture. Provide bright, indirect light to encourage growth, leading to successful establishment and further propagation of wampi.
