Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is detrimental, especially during dormancy. In the growing season, water deeply but infrequently.

Reduce watering significantly in cooler months to prevent root rot.

Pruning is generally not required for established trees, as they maintain a natural shape. If necessary to manage size or remove dead/damaged branches, prune in late spring after flowering.

Use sharp, clean tools and seal larger cuts.

Propagation is best achieved by seed, which requires scarification and stratification. Seeds are slow to germinate and require warm conditions.

Cuttings are difficult to root and not a common propagation method for Adansonia grandidieri.

Repotting is rarely needed for mature trees. Young plants in containers should be repotted every 2-3 years in spring, using a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Use a pot only slightly larger than the root ball.
