Persea lingue prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.

Reduce watering frequency during winter months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage.

Pruning is generally minimal and aimed at shaping the tree, removing dead or diseased branches, and improving air circulation. Light pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the tree.

Persea lingue can be propagated from seeds, although germination can be slow and erratic. Seeds should be sown fresh.

Grafting onto rootstock is also a common and more reliable method for establishing desirable cultivars and improving disease resistance.

Young plants may require repotting every 1-2 years into a slightly larger pot, typically in spring. Mature trees are best left undisturbed in their pots or planted in the ground.

Ensure the new pot has excellent drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
