Dacryodes IncurvataDacryodes incurvata

Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Dacryodes incurvata prefers consistent moisture but dislikes waterlogged conditions.

Reduce watering during cooler months or when the plant is dormant to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage to mimic its native habitat.

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

Use clean, sharp tools for precise cuts.

Propagate Dacryodes incurvata from seeds or stem cuttings. Seeds require stratification and may take time to germinate.

Stem cuttings, taken in spring or summer, should be treated with rooting hormone and planted in a well-draining medium. Maintain high humidity for cuttings.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one, ensuring it has adequate drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and sand. Repot in spring.
