Cavanillesia platanifolia plants should be watered once or twice a week, depending on the season and the climate. During the hot summer months, water thoroughly, using room temperature water so as not to shock the roots. During the cool winter months, water less frequently, once every 2 weeks. Always check the soil before watering to make sure it is dry before adding more moisture. Make sure water does not accumulate around the plant's crown.

Cavanillesia platanifolia plants prefer at least 6 hours of direct vibrant sunlight every day. However, plants in particularly hot climates may require some shade or filtered sunlight during midday to prevent leaf scorching. You should move the plant outdoors or to a sunny spot in order to provide it with direct sunlight. The best time of the day to ensure that your Cavanillesia platanifolia gets enough sunlight is from 9am-3pm. If you notice the leaves starting to wilt or brown, you may want to reduce the amount of direct sunlight it receives.

Cavanillesia (Cavanillesia platanifolia) should be pruned regularly to keep its size manageable and to promote featured blooms. Pruning should be done in late spring or early summer. For most planting locations, removing approximately 1-third of the oldest stems should be done at this time. In areas with hot, dry summers, pruning may be done once in the spring and again in the late summer or fall. Large cuts should be avoided as they reduce the flowering potential of the plant.
