When crushed, the leaves emit a very strong aroma which would rival any member of the citrus family. B.citriodora is a hardy plant which tolerates all but the poorest drained soils. It can be slow growing but responds well to slow release fertilisers. Like many other rainforest species, it has also been successfully cultivated indoors. B.citriodora is best propagated from cuttings, which may be slow to strike.
Seed is difficult to germinate.
