Water: Daphne arisanensis requires frequent watering to keep its soil moist, but over-watering should be avoided. Watering frequency is climate-dependent, and less is needed in winter. A useful tip is to check the soil's moisture by inserting your finger 5 cm (2 in) deep; the soil should feel damp, not saturated.

Fertilize: Fertilize your daphne arisanensis in spring and fall using rich mulch while keeping it away from the stem. If opting for fertilizer, select a balanced formula and avoid those with high acidity levels.

Pruning: Prune daphne arisanensis in early spring before new growth. Remove dead branches and lightly trim overgrown areas to promote bushiness and airflow. Avoid heavy pruning to reduce stress and ensure continued blooming. Use clean, sharp tools for smooth cuts to minimize damage and disease spread.

Propagation: Daphne arisanensis is difficult to grow, with seed germination taking up to two years. For propagation, take semi-ripe cuttings in spring, cutting above a leaf node on non-flowering stems. Once rooted, keep under cover until the following spring before planting out.
