Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering during cooler months when the plant's growth slows down. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done any time of year.

Heavier pruning is best done after fruiting to encourage new growth and maintain desired size and form.

Grafting is the most common and successful method for propagating Gambeya africana. Cuttings can be difficult to root. Seeds can be used but germination may be slow and variable, and seedlings may not come true to type.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years or when root-bound, usually in spring. Mature trees generally do not require frequent repotting and prefer to be slightly pot-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
