Pterocarpus officinalis prefers consistently moist soil, 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 cooler, dormant periods, but never allow the soil to dry out completely.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but major pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which require scarification or soaking to improve germination rates. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer. Use a rooting hormone to encourage root development.

Maintain high humidity and warmth for best results.

Young plants may need repotting every 1-2 years, while mature specimens are less frequent. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring, using a well-draining potting mix.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
