Water: Storehousebush prefers a habitat with balanced moisture and is drought-tolerant, adapting to intermittent rainfall. Water every two weeks for optimal growth, especially during the active growing season when consistent moisture supports robust development.

Fertilize: For storehousebush, use balanced fertilizers (10-10-10) bi-monthly during growth, halving the amount to prevent overfeeding. Water storehousebush before applying to avoid root burn. Reduce feeding in winter to minimize waste, ensuring optimal health and productivity through careful seasonal adjustments.

Pruning: Storehousebush is a deciduous shrub with trifoliate leaves and bright orange-red fruit. Prune in late winter to enhance growth, remove dead branches, and improve air circulation. Regular pruning fosters fruit production and maintains the shrub's shape, ensuring vitality and visual appeal.

Propagation: Storehousebush, a member of the Moraceae family, is primarily propagated through semi-hardwood cuttings. Using rooting hormone and a well-draining medium that retains moisture is recommended. Cuttings should be shaded from direct light and well-ventilated to avoid fungus, and can be transplanted once established.
