Amdeberhan et al. [‘Arithmetic properties for generalized cubic partitions and overpartitions modulo a prime’, Aequationes Math. (2024), doi:10.1007/s00010-024-01116-7] defined the generalised cubic partition function $a_c(n)$ as the number of partitions of n whose even parts may appear in
$c\geq 1$ different colours and proved that
$a_3(7n+4)\equiv 0\pmod {7}$ and
$a_5(11n+10)\equiv 0\pmod {11}$ for all
$n\geq 0$ via modular forms. Recently, the author [‘A note on congruences for generalized cubic partitions modulo primes’, Integers 25 (2025), Article no. A20] gave elementary proofs of these congruences. We prove in this note two infinite families of congruences modulo
$5$ for
$a_c(n)$ given by
$$ \begin{align*} a_{25c+4}(25n+18)&\equiv 0\pmod{5},\\ a_{25c+9}(25n+8)&\equiv 0\pmod{5} \end{align*} $$
for all $c\geq 0$ and
$n\geq 0$ using elementary q-series manipulations.
