Water Pouteria alnifolia regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings, especially during warmer months.

Reduce watering in cooler periods to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage.

Prune Pouteria alnifolia to maintain its shape and size, and to remove any dead or crossing branches. Pruning can be done lightly after flowering or in early spring before new growth begins.

This encourages bushier growth and can help manage fruit production.

Propagate Pouteria alnifolia from seeds, which may require stratification, or through stem cuttings taken during the active growing season. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept in a warm, humid environment until established.

Repot Pouteria alnifolia every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Select a pot that is slightly larger than the current one to provide adequate space for root development.
