Manilkara jaimiqui prefers consistently moist soil but can tolerate short periods of drought once established. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods.

Pruning is generally minimal and mainly for shaping or removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the tree.

Focus on maintaining a strong central leader for younger specimens.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which require stratification or scarification before sowing. Grafting is also an effective method for established cultivars.

Cuttings can be challenging to root and may require specialized conditions and rooting hormones.

Repotting is rarely necessary for mature trees as they are slow-growing and develop extensive root systems. Young plants may benefit from repotting every 2-3 years into a slightly larger container, preferably in spring.

Use a well-draining potting mix.
