In hot conditions, attention should be paid to watering and providing some shade to avoid sunburn. Its resistance to low temperatures is comparatively weak: it can endure a certain amount of cold, but excessively low temperatures may cause frost damage.

Fertilizer

Fertilize your Sandpaper stamperwood in early spring to encourage healthy growth. Regular feeding improves its overall health, leading to vigorous growth, better tolerance of harsh conditions, and increased resistance to pests and diseases. Follow a consistent fertilization schedule for your Sandpaper stamperwood to keep the foliage vibrant, richly colored, and lush.
