Water African Teak regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Reduce watering in the dormant period, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune African Teak to maintain its shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done at any time of year, but is best performed after flowering or in late winter before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp pruning tools.

African Teak can be propagated from seeds, which require scarification and soaking before sowing. Cuttings can also be taken, typically from semi-hardwood in summer. Rooting can be slow, so patience is key.

Provide warmth and high humidity for best results.

Repot young African Teak plants every 1-2 years, or when root-bound. Mature specimens can be repotted less frequently, every 3-5 years. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of loam, sand, and compost.

Repot in spring before the main growing season.
