Water: Tree coprosma prefers humid environments similar to its native habitat, thriving with slightly moist soil watered weekly. Although moderately drought-tolerant, it benefits from natural rainfall outdoors. When indoors, maintain humidity using a humidifier or pebble tray for optimal growth.

Pruning: Tree coprosma thrives with winter pruning, focusing on dead branch removal, thinning for airflow, and shaping. Dormant season practices reduce stress, encouraging vigorous spring growth and improving ornamental appeal. Consult horticultural guides for tool recommendations and safety advice.

Propagation: Tree coprosma, native to New Zealand, is propagated via semi-hardwood cuttings from healthy plants. Treat cuttings with rooting hormone and use a well-draining propagation medium. Maintain consistent moisture and warmth to establish roots, then gradually acclimate and pot transplants for continued growth.
