Pericopsis angolensis prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogging. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering during cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage in the pot and substrate.

Pruning is generally minimal for mature trees, primarily for shaping or removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges to encourage a more compact form or manage size. Remove any suckers from the base.

Seed propagation is the most common method for Pericopsis angolensis. Seeds require scarification or hot water treatment to break dormancy.

Sow in a well-draining, sandy medium and maintain consistent moisture and warmth. Grafting can also be used for specific cultivar propagation.

Young plants benefit from repotting every 2-3 years in early spring to refresh the soil and provide more space. Mature trees are slow-growing and rarely need repotting. Ensure the new pot offers excellent drainage.

Use a gritty, well-draining compost mix.
