It likes full sun, plenty of water and fertilizer during the growing season. It is a strong grower and even though it is possible to grow it in a container for many years, it will perform better in the ground.

Dombeya wallichii is very low maintenance. It is a vigorous grower but needs protection from heavy frost and temperatures below freezing. After a light frost the leaves take on a bronze color. The plant grows best in sun with regular weekly or bi-weekly water in summer once it is established, though it is reported to be somewhat drought tolerant. It is not salt tolerant and may need occasional deep watering to flush away the built-up salts in years when winter rainfall is below normal. Fertilize plants shortly after transplanting with a water soluble product according to the label directions. Once established, the plants are very easy to grow and do not need a regular fertilization, though they may appreciate it.

Old flowers remain a long time, and should be removed to keep a neat appearance.  Trimming should be done after the flowers are gone in the spring until mid September. It can be trimmed as far back as necessary without harming the tree.
