Water Chrysophyllum arenarium thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings to prevent fungal issues.

Prune Chrysophyllum arenarium to shape and maintain desired size, typically in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can encourage bushier growth and improve air circulation.

Chrysophyllum arenarium can be propagated from seeds sown in spring, or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require scarification or stratification.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept in a warm, humid environment.

Repot Chrysophyllum arenarium every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
