Water: Pinkwood, native to Tasmania's temperate forests, thrives in moderate humidity and consistent moisture. Water every 1-2 weeks to keep soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Best grown outdoors, pinkwood benefits from mulching to retain moisture and replicate its natural habitat.

Pruning: Pinkwood features attractive foliage and blossoms. Prune in early to late winter to remove dead or diseased wood and crossing branches, enhancing growth and shape while minimizing shock. Regular pruning fosters air circulation, reducing disease risk and boosting vigor. For more guidance, consult reliable horticultural sources.
