Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as Buchanania arborescens prefers well-draining conditions.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months or when the plant is dormant to prevent root rot.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage bushier growth. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done after flowering or in early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which require scarification or soaking to improve germination rates. Stem cuttings can also be used, but are generally less successful.

Both methods benefit from warm, humid conditions.

Repot young plants annually or when root-bound. Mature trees can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring, just before the active growing season begins.
