Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months or when the plant is dormant.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Avoid heavy pruning, as Garcinia epunctata generally has a slower growth habit.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which require stratification or scarification to germinate. Cuttings are also possible but can be challenging to root.

Use a well-draining potting mix and maintain consistent moisture and warmth.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when they become root-bound. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently. Use a well-draining potting mix and select a pot slightly larger than the current one.

Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
