Caryocar brasiliense prefers consistently moist soil, especially during its establishment phase. Water deeply when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods, but never allow the soil to completely dry out.

Pruning is generally minimal for Caryocar brasiliense, primarily focused on removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done anytime, but late winter or early spring before active growth is ideal.

Aim for structural pruning in young trees to promote a strong framework. Avoid heavy pruning.

Propagation is typically achieved through seeds, which require stratification to improve germination rates. Seeds should be sown in well-draining soil mix and kept moist and warm.

Grafting is also an option for specific cultivars, but is more complex and usually done by experienced propagators.

Repotting is generally not required for mature trees in their natural habitat. For container-grown specimens, repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one to avoid shocking the root system.
