Sandoricum indicum prefers consistently moist soil, especially when young. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods but do not allow the soil to dry out completely.

Pruning is primarily for shaping and removing dead or damaged branches. Prune lightly after fruiting to maintain form and encourage bushier growth. Remove any crossing or rubbing branches.

For younger trees, shaping can begin early to establish a strong structure and canopy.

Sandoricum indicum can be propagated from seeds, which require scarification and soaking before sowing. Softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings can also be used, though rooting success can vary.

Grafting is another method, often employed to ensure desirable fruit characteristics.

Young plants may require repotting every 1-2 years, while mature trees are less frequently moved. Repot in spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid excessive moisture retention.
