watering
Watering for Clusia (Clusia orthoneura) should be done every 7 to 10 days. As a tropical species, Clusia can tolerate and benefit from regular watering over the warmer months, preferably early in the morning or in the late afternoon when temperatures are cooler. However, it is important that the soil is allowed to dry out between waterings. To do this, check the soil with your fingers if it feels barely damp, then it is time to water.
sunlight
Clusia (Clusia orthoneura) thrive in full sun to part shade. They can tolerate part to full shade during the hottest portions of the day, but they will bloom less in direct shade or in a heavily shaded area. Morning sun is ideal for the plant, but it can tolerate afternoon sun as long as the sun doesn’t directly hit the leaves in the afternoon. If the leaves of the plant become sunburned, they can be moved into a more shaded area to promote healthy growth. For optimal growth, Clusia should receive 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.
pruning
Clusia (Clusia orthoneura) should usually be pruned in the early spring or late winter (January-March). Pruning for Clusia should generally be done in moderation and only to remove dead or damaged branches or to shape. You should avoid pruning more than 25% of a Clusia as this will reduce its vigor and may lead to dieback.
