Manilkara hexandra prefers consistent moisture but dislikes waterlogged soil. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch.

Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent root rot, especially if grown in containers. Ensure good drainage to avoid issues.

Prune Manilkara hexandra to shape the tree, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve air circulation. The best time to prune is after fruiting or in late winter before new growth begins.

Avoid heavy pruning as it can stress the tree.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which require scarification or soaking before sowing. Cuttings can also be taken, but they are often difficult to root.

Grafting is another method used to propagate desirable varieties, ensuring true-to-type offspring.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years, and mature plants every 3-4 years, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.

Repotting helps refresh the soil and provides more space for root development.
