Inga uraguensis prefers consistently moist soil but not waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but avoid letting the soil completely dry out, as this can stress the plant.

Prune Inga uraguensis to maintain its desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best carried out in late winter or early spring before the new growth begins. This encourages bushier growth.

Inga uraguensis can be propagated from seeds, which should be sown fresh as they lose viability quickly. Scarification of the seed coat might be necessary to improve germination rates.

Alternatively, semi-hardwood cuttings can be taken in summer and treated with rooting hormone.

Repot young Inga uraguensis plants every 1-2 years, or when they become root-bound. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.

Repotting is best done in spring.
