Water deeply when the top 5-10 cm of soil feels dry. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions.

Prune lightly to shape the plant or remove dead or crossing branches. This is best done after flowering.

Avoid heavy pruning, as Balanites wilsoniana typically has a natural, attractive form and excessive cutting can stress the plant.

Propagation is primarily through seeds, which require scarification and soaking before sowing. Germination can be slow and erratic.

Young plants are also sometimes propagated from cuttings, but this is less common and more challenging to establish successfully.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years into slightly larger containers, preferably in spring. Mature plants are slow-growing and may only need repotting every 3-5 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
