African Mahogany prefers consistent moisture, especially when young. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during drier winter months, but never allow the soil to dry out completely.

Prune African Mahogany primarily to shape the tree, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve air circulation. The best time for significant pruning is during the dormant season (late winter or early spring).

Light pruning can be done throughout the year to maintain desired form and remove errant growth.

African Mahogany can be propagated from seeds, which require stratification and can be slow to germinate. Cuttings are also possible but can be challenging.

For best results, use fresh seeds and a well-draining seed-starting mix, kept consistently moist and warm.

Young African Mahogany plants may need repotting every 1-2 years to accommodate root growth. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repot in spring before new growth begins. Mature trees rarely need repotting and are best left in their location.
