Water: Villous dunbaria prefers a humid environment that mimics its tropical habitat, requiring watering every three weeks without waterlogging. Moderately drought-tolerant, it benefits from increased humidity via misting or by placing its pot on wet pebbles to maintain optimal moisture levels.

Fertilize: Villous dunbaria thrives with balanced nutrition fertilizers monthly during active growth, switching to bi-monthly in dormancy. Introduce high-nitrogen supplements in spring for foliage. Use half-strength fertilizers to prevent burn, watering thoroughly post-application to ensure nutrient distribution and root health.

Pruning: Villous dunbaria has dense, hairy stems and vibrant flowers. Prune in early spring to remove dead branches and encourage growth, improving air circulation and light access. Regular pruning enhances blooming and maintains overall structure, promoting a healthy and attractive plant.

Propagation: Propagate villous dunbaria by taking stem, leaf, or root cuttings from a mature plant, ensuring each cutting has a growth node. Use a sharp, sterile tool and maintain proper moisture, light, and warmth for successful rooting, resulting in new plants identical to the parent.
