Irvingia malayana prefers consistent moisture but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering during cooler, less active periods.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in potted specimens.

Pruning is generally minimal for Irvingia malayana, primarily focused on removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This helps maintain the tree's natural shape and promotes air circulation within the canopy.

Propagation is typically done through seeds, which require scarification and soaking before sowing. Grafting is another method used to ensure desired characteristics. Germination can be slow and erratic.

It's best to sow seeds in a well-draining medium and maintain consistent warmth.

Young Irvingia malayana plants may require repotting every 1-2 years to accommodate root growth. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.

Repot in spring before the active growing season commences.
