Geoffroya decorticans is drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, especially during its dormant period.

In containers, ensure excellent drainage and reduce watering significantly in cooler months.

Pruning is primarily for shaping, removing dead or damaged branches, and improving air circulation. Minimal pruning is usually needed. If shaping is desired, do so in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Avoid heavy pruning as it can be slow to recover.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which may require scarification or stratification to break dormancy. Cuttings can be attempted, but are generally difficult to root. Sow seeds in well-draining soil in spring.

Patience is key for germination.

Repotting is infrequent as Geoffroya decorticans prefers to be slightly root-bound. If necessary, repot container-grown specimens in spring when new growth appears, using a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
