Water Dichrostachys arborescens regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, especially during cooler months.

Reduce watering frequency in winter when the plant's growth slows down significantly.

Prune Dichrostachys arborescens in late winter or early spring to shape the plant, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage bushier growth. Light trimming can be done throughout the year to maintain desired form and remove suckers.

Propagate Dichrostachys arborescens from seeds sown in spring, or through semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require scarification or stratification.

Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium with bottom heat.

Repot Dichrostachys arborescens every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Spring is the ideal time for repotting, allowing the plant to establish in its new container before the peak growing season.
