Water: Kibatalia macrophylla thrives in tropical climates with high humidity and rainfall. It prefers consistent moisture but can tolerate short dry spells. Water every 2-3 weeks, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Best grown outdoors, it flourishes with natural moisture levels similar to its native habitat.

Fertilize: Fertilize kibatalia macrophylla seasonally with balanced and high-nitrogen fertilizers during growth phases. Apply quarterly, adjusting based on plant size and soil condition. Follow instructions to avoid nutrient burn, and use slow-release formulas for consistent growth and health.

Pruning: Kibatalia macrophylla thrives in tropical climates and requires large leaves for optimal growth. Pruning should occur in early to late winter, focusing on light thinning and removing dead branches. Use sterilized tools to prevent disease and avoid heavy pruning to maintain plant health and vigor.

Propagation: To propagate kibatalia macrophylla, use healthy semi-hardwood cuttings with leaf nodes. Make clean cuts with sterilized tools, apply rooting hormone, and plant in well-draining soil. Keep consistently moist and warm, avoiding direct sunlight initially. Gradually expose rooted plants to more light for optimal growth.
