Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry. Aspidosperma megalocarpon prefers consistent moisture but dislikes waterlogged roots. Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, while heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagation is typically done from seeds sown in well-draining soil, often requiring specific conditions for germination. Cuttings can also be taken from mature plants, though rooting can be challenging and may require bottom heat and rooting hormones.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and sand.

Repot in spring before active growth begins.
