Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Mammea odorata prefers consistent moisture but dislikes waterlogged roots. Reduce watering in cooler months.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as this plant is sensitive to overwatering.

Prune lightly to shape the tree and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Mammea odorata responds well to pruning, which can encourage bushier growth.

The best time for pruning is after flowering, typically in late spring or early summer.

Propagation is typically done through seeds, which require stratification. Grafting is also a successful method for faster fruiting and improved varieties.

Cuttings are difficult to root and generally not recommended for home propagation.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years or when rootbound, usually in spring. Mature trees can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 5 years.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of loam, sand, and compost, to ensure good aeration.
