Fertilize: For walsura robusta, use balanced fertilizers for optimal growth, applying quarterly in active seasons and halving during dormancy. Adhere to package guidelines for size, as over-fertilization can cause root burn. Boost nitrogen in spring for healthy foliage, ensuring walsura robusta's vigor and disease resistance.

Pruning: Walsura robusta exhibits strong growth and lush foliage. Prune in early spring by removing dead branches and thinning crowded areas to improve air circulation. This promotes healthier growth and better structure. Always use clean, sharp tools to avoid disease and ensure clean cuts.

Propagation: Walsura robusta is a moderately sized, evergreen tree native to tropical regions, valued for its dense crown. Propagation mainly involves semi-hardwood cuttings from a healthy parent. To succeed, maintain warmth, humidity, and indirect light, while keeping cuttings moist but not soggy to prevent rot.
