Water: After transplanting platanus rzedowskii, promptly water and maintain moist soil for root absorption. Young trees require frequent watering in spring (once or twice weekly), while mature trees need bi-monthly watering in summer, adjusting based on weather to avoid over-irrigation, which causes yellow leaves.

Fertilize: After transplanting platanus rzedowskii, apply nitrogen fertilizer every 20 days in small amounts. Once mature, reduce fertilization and add phosphorus potassium as needed. Fertile soil may not require additional fertilization, supporting branch and leaf growth and enhancing the plant's resistance.

Pruning: Platanus rzedowskii features large, lobed leaves and a strong trunk. Prune in early spring, removing dead branches and thinning crowded areas for better air circulation. Regular pruning every few years promotes health, prevents disease, and improves the overall vigor and appearance of platanus rzedowskii.

Propagation: Propagate platanus rzedowskii by cutting one-year-old branches in spring, retaining 2 nodes and 3 buds. Use rooting powder, plant in sterilized soil, and keep moist, spaced 15-30 cm apart. Expect new leaves to shed initially; new growth indicates root formation. Prune dense foliage and apply nitrogen fertilizer mid-summer.
