Water: Corchoropsis thrives in environments with periodic rainfall, favoring moderate humidity and weekly watering. As an outdoor species in temperate regions, it benefits from mulching to conserve soil moisture, supporting healthy growth during its active growing season.

Fertilize: For corchoropsis, apply balanced nutrition fertilizers annually in spring, and high-nitrogen fertilizers quarterly during active growth. Water soil before fertilizing to prevent root burn. Adjust fertilization frequency during dormancy, promoting vitality and encouraging vigorous growth and healthy blooms suitable for all skill levels.

Pruning: Corchoropsis has soft, tomentose leaves and vibrant blooms. Prune in early spring to promote healthy growth, removing dead branches above a healthy bud. Thin overcrowded areas for better air circulation. Regular pruning enhances flowering and maintains size, ensuring optimal health and aesthetics.

Propagation: Corchoropsis, a perennial from East Asia, thrives in diverse conditions. For propagation, sow seeds in well-draining soil, lightly covering them. Keep soil moist without waterlogging and provide warmth to promote germination. Transplant robust seedlings to individual pots, acclimating them before outdoor planting.
