Water sparingly once established, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Balanites angolensis is highly drought-tolerant and overwatering can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during cooler months.

Pruning is generally not required for Balanites angolensis unless aiming to shape the plant or remove dead or damaged branches. Minimal intervention is best. If pruning is necessary, do so in late winter or early spring.

Propagation is typically achieved through seeds, which may require scarification or soaking to improve germination rates. Cuttings are difficult to root and generally not a reliable method for this species.

Repotting is infrequent for Balanites angolensis as it prefers to be slightly root-bound. If necessary, repot in spring into a larger container with well-draining soil. Handle roots with care due to their sensitivity.
